Planes, Trains and Ferries: Should They Serve Canadian Wine? Who Does and Who Doesn’t?
Ever been on a domestic Canadian flight and wonder why they are serving California wine? How about on a rail or ferry trip? What businesses are not carrying Canadian wine that you expect should? Which are supporting our industry?
That’s what we will talk about on this week’s #BCWineChat
Note: #ONWineChat offered at 6pm PST will be discussing the same topic–perhaps we can trend this topic nationally?
HERE’S HOW THE CHAT WENT:
By “Export” we mean it in the real sense of the word, not in the Canadian wine sense of the word–we mean OUTSIDE CANADA. Quite often people talk about export being outside our province but that is not what we are discussing on this chat.
Asia? Europe? United States? Elsewhere? Where should BC take its wines, should BC export and why or why not?
