Viticulture: Grapes for Icewine are harvested at -8° Celsius or lower, and often by moonlight.

Acreage: British Columbia currently has an estimated 9,100 acres under vine, up from just 1,000 acres planted in 1989.

VQA: VQA=100% BC - All British Columbia wines bearing the VQA symbol must be made from 100% BC grown grapes. The wines are screened by a professional tasting panel and wines found faulty cannot be sold as VQA wines.

Tannin: A compound in the skin and seeds of grapes that is essential in providing substance and backbone to red wines.*

Sales: British Columbia VQA wine sales have doubled in the last six years to more than $182 million annually.
