Our Grape King Jeff Duc visited this Sobeys in Welland to thank Mike for proudly displaying and supporting 💯 percent Ontario grown wines. When you buy wines made from 100% Ontario grown grapes you support our economy and create jobs here at home.

How to know your wine is 💯 Ontario grown. Buying VQA (Vintners Quality Alliance) wines is a great way to ensure that you are buying 100% Ontario wine. Look for VQA or “Product of Canada” on the label.

Not all “local” wines are truly local. International Domestic Blends may contain up to 75% imported wine. Instead look for VQA or “Product of Canada” for 100% local grapes.

What to look for when buying wine. This VQA symbol is a great way to ensure that you are buying 100% Ontario wine. Or look for ‘Product of Canada’ on the label Choosing wines made with 100% local grapes means you’re supporting farmers, small businesses, jobs and our economy.
