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

Expansion: There are now over 175 grape wineries in BC and several licenses pending, up from just 13 in 1984.

Terroir: The sandy soil of the Black Sage Bench near Oliver reaches 300 feet deep in places.

Vinifera: A species of grape–Vitis Vinifera–that produces the classic wine grapes that have spread from the vineyards of Europe.*

Varietal: When the grape variety in the wine is named on the label (Chardonnay, Merlot), the wine is a varietal.*
