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.

Geology: Mt. Boucherie (near Kelowna), home to a number of wineries, is an extinct volcano.

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

Expansion: There are now 160 grape wineries in BC and several licenses pending, up from just 13 in 1984.

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