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

Awards: In 1994, Mission Hill Grand Reserve Chardonnay 1992 won the Avery Trophy for “Best Chardonnay Worldwide” at the International Wine and Spirit Competition in London—the first major award win of the new era of BC winemaking.

Expansion: There are now 136 wineries in BC and a further 7 with licenses pending, up from just 13 in 1984.

Acreage: British Columbia currently has approximately 7,500 acres under vine, up from just 1,000 acres planted in 1989.

Brix: A measure of sugar in grapes: one degree Brix equals 10 grams of sugar per litre. Mature grapes are typically 21 to 25 Brix, equating to 11 to 13 percent alchohol after fermentation.*
