Here are 3 interesting British Columbia wine trends to look out for in 2023!
The last few years have demonstrated how quickly the world is changing. The climate is changing, and consumers’ purchasing habits are shifting to reflect their concern for the environment.

Instead, the grain of the wood allows for trace amounts of oxygen to enter the wine.
