Quality: The VQA designation (Vintners Quality Alliance) requires a professional tasting panel to approve each wine.

Terroir: Borrowed from the French, this term encompasses the entire environment–soil, climate, aspect–that makes a vineyard special.*

Meritage: Rhymes with heritage. A term created in California to identify blends made with Bordeaux grape varieties.*

Fermentation: The natural process in which yeast converts sugar to alcohol.*

Varietals: 49% of British Columbia’s wines are white. 51% are red. In the last acreage survey conducted, 97.1% of the yield was from vinifera grapes and 2.9% from hybrids.
