The agency stated the Wine Sector Support Program was key to supporting private-sector participation and investing in the wine value chain.

“Our priority is ensuring Canadian grape farmers and wineries have the confidence to invest, innovate and expand,” Del Rollo, Chair of Wine Growers Canada, stated.

“We look forward to working with the federal government to ensure that this investment delivers the greatest possible benefits for Canadian farmers, wineries of every size and the communities that depend on them.”

Wine Growers Canada added an analysis of the sector found that increasing wine’s domestic market share to 51 per cent over the next 10 to 15 years could raise the industry’s Gross Domestic Product contribution from $10.1-billion to $13.7-billion annually, and the investment through the program could help strengthen the sector and reach those figures.
