Future of the domestic wine industry is in VQA
Mar 26, 2010
Canada - Niagara Falls MPP Kim Craitor is correct in defending his government's legislative changes because they will redress imbalances that currently favor the Cellared-in-Canada hegemony.Anthony Bristow, chairman of the Winery & Grower Alliance of Ontario and chief operating officer of Grimsby-based Andrew Peller Ltd., fails to mention that roughly 70% of their 90% of total industry sales consists of imported wine and that, by virtue of their size, CIC blenders have a stranglehold on the growers and have forced them to kowtow to their efforts to derail government proposals, and that their 9% retail margin is actually closer to 70% integrated manufacturing/ retail margin so the 10% surtax on CIC wines barely makes a dent in the enormous advantage they have over VQA wines. He also fails to mention they have just torn up all the grape contracts they have with their grower partners.
