[Growwine] Ontario's drinking culture: A big part of the battle?

[Paul Bulas]

Some things I'd love to see in Ontario:
* Legal wine sales at farmer's markets
* Abolition or reduction of minimum acreage requirement for artisanal wineries
* A less "commodified" view of food
* Total free trade in wine from any jurisdiction into Ontario - give consumers an easy way to pay the sales tax and prove that we are of age, and let us order Norton from Missouri, Frontenac from Quebec, etc. with unfettered ease
* Change regulations so that having a bottle of wine during a family picnic is not illegal
* Actively promote "cultured" consumption of alcohol - e.g. education programs
As many of these points take a poke at societal norms, it will no doubt be an uphill battle.

How did Ocala have their wine for sale at St Jacob's?  Not legal is it?
