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

[Paul Bulas]

It might be a useful idea to consider modelling our laws on those used in more "progressive" jurisdictions where wine is understood as a culinary accompaniment (and possibly an artform) and not simply in dry terms, as an "intoxicant".  The overall regulatory climate seems to be predicated on curbing the social ills of alcohol abuse (real as they are) rather than promoting artisanal wines as something that has cultural value.  And it's not just wine - local agriculture in general should be promoted more.  Doing so will of course present challenges, but would likely steer things away from that dry commodified mentality into something more holistic.  Such are my 2¢.

There are AGCO laws which govern the sale and production of alcohol in general.
