Most people don’t think of Canada when they think of wine, but they should. The geographic diversity of the country allows for many types of grapes to grow, with 3 distinct wine appellations in Ontario alone.
The cold climate adds complexity to the grapes that create expressive wines. And, the relatively young
Canadian Wine Industry lends itself to innovation and experimentation, resulting in unique flavors that cannot be found anywhere else.
Wine Fun Fact: “Ice Wine” is a rich dessert wine that is produced from grapes that have frozen on the vine. Canada is one of the only countries that can consistently produce this prized drink.
Cider culture used to be huge, but with the introduction of other drinks, its popularity faded. Now, cider is making a comeback! Ciders are the fastest-growing category of alcoholic beverages in the U.S. and Canada.
Ontario ciders are especially sought after. The moderate but cold microclimate of the Great Lakes gives apples an intense and crisp flavor.
Cider Fun Fact: Cider was the first alcoholic beverage produced and consumed in North America, originally brought over by Pilgrims who settled the East Coast
Beer has a long, rich history in Canada. The first registered brewer began making beer in 1646, and the tradition never stopped. Beer is the most popular alcoholic beverage in the country, with 85% - 90% of that beer being manufactured in Canada.
Today brewers directly employ 21,000 Canadians and indirectly support 149,000. With all that in mind, it’s not an exaggeration to say that beer is the backbone of the Canadian alcohol industry.
Beer Fun Fact: First Peoples of Canada invented Spruce Beer, which was used to treat scurvy.
