Subject: Re: [Growwine] Ontario's drinking culture: A big part of the
battle?<br>
<br>
This speaks to a bigger question, I think; while I like wine from<br>
diverse regions and especially from close to home, I do think there is<br>
probably a hard economic limit on the feasibility of wine production<br>
"everywhere." I think you touch on this, but it may be that beyond<br>
the problems of the LCBO monopoly and regulatory problems in Ontario<br>
there just isn't much of a market for wine that may be produced if<br>
those regulations were to be loosened.<br>
<br>
That said, I just wish it was possible to produce and market<br>
small-scale wine in Ontario just like any other food product -- at<br>
farmer's markets, etc. I would love to have a couple acres of grapes<br>
and make wine part-time, and be able to sell it to friends, at market,<br>
etc.<br>
