Organic wine has not had much of a reputation until recently. Lack of regulation meant that just about anyone could use the term without substantiating the claim. That has all changed now that The Canadian Food Inspection Agency now uses a recognized certification board to provide national certification. BC has a growing list of top quality, certified organic wineries of which Summerhill Pyramid Winery and Lotusland Winery are but two. If we want to learn more about BC wine, The British Columbia Wine Institute has a comprehensive website where you can uncover the basics of viticulture, plan a wine tour itinerary or find your closest VQA store.
