Must: Unfermented grape pulp or juice.*

Sales: British Columbia VQA wine sales have doubled in the last six years to more than $155 million annually.

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

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.*

Botrytis: A fungus that attacks grape skins. In favourable conditions, it dehydrates grapes, allowing the production of intense dessert wines.*
