Canadian Wines | Prices, Types & Reviews

Written By: Brian Freedman on Wed, Jul 12th 2006

Canada may seem like a strange place for high-end wine production, but its naturally cooler climate is perfect for the growth of some excellent wine grapes. The Canadian wine industry is centered in Quebec, Nova Scotia, Ontario, and British Columbia. More than anything else, Canada's wine industry is known for its sweet wines, though some excellent dry wines are made, too.
