I live in Niagara and I’ll be the first to say that vqa wines are not all that.
But I’d rather get a vqa, or other Canadian wine, over supporting the USA and their tariffs.
They’re certainly not bad, but they’re also not “all that” either. I’ll happily keep buying Canadian. I’ll probably keep that up after the tariffs because I like supporting our economy, instead of sending all my dollars over to the USA for the same thing we can make here.
Best wine I have ever had was decades ago, it was called Unity Wine. It was a joint venture between a BC Oganagan wine producer and a Niagara producer, where they blended their products.
Here is one blend.

They are different beasts. BC has a less ideal climate and slightly shorter season. Your beer is great while your wines are less reliable at this point. Climate change will alter this but right now this is the case.
Keeping that elbow up with the fantastic Canadian wines and beers we have.

I mean, we have the option to buy the table wine from a Canadian winery and an occasional fancy bottle from somewhere in Europe. Keep it up!

Portugal has the best QPR in wine IMO
Source: 30 years in the alcohol business.
The thing about buying Portugese (or other nationality) wines is it still boycotts America.
Yes, and you will get a solid bottle for less than buying a US wine.
