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

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.*

Clone: The mutation of a species. Growers select and propagate clones selected for such desirable qualities as early ripening, vivid flavour and deep colour.*

Varietals: 48% of British Columbia’s wines are white. 52% are red. 97.8% are made from vinifera grapes and 2.2% from hybrids.

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