However, the market was limited for such wines because of their peculiar taste which was often called " foxy". They found it necessary to focus on the native species of Vitis labrusca and Vitis riparia along with various hybrids. Early settlers tried to cultivate Vitis vinifera grapes from Europe with limited success. The first commercial winery was opened in Canada in the mid-19th century.Ĭanadian wine has been produced for over 200 years. In addition to standard grape wines, and icewines, the country is also home to several fruit wineries and meaderies, found in provinces such as in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, provinces whose local climate is not favourable for grape production. More than 90 per cent of Canadian icewines originates from Ontario, although the product is also produced in British Columbia, Quebec, and Nova Scotia. As a result, Canada is the world's leading icewine producer, with more icewine produced in Canada than all other countries combined. Icewine can be produced reliably in most Canadian wine-producing regions. Between 20, 68 per cent of Canadian wine exports came from Ontario-based wineries with 14 per cent of exports originating from British Columbia, 12 per cent from Quebec, and six per cent from Alberta. The second largest wine-producing province, British Columbia, constitutes 33 per cent of Canada's wine production. In 2015, Canada produced 56.2 million litres of wine, with 62 per cent of that total originating from Ontario. However, wine producing regions are also present in other provinces, including Alberta, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. Ontario and British Columbia are the two largest wine-producing provinces in Canada, with two-thirds of the Canada's vineyard acreage situated in Ontario. Canadian wine is wine produced in Canada.
