“Part of our job at CCOVI is to engage with decision-makers and industry leaders to enhance Canada’s cool climate wine and grape capabilities through our research and outreach efforts,” said Inglis. “Minister Flack’s visit was a great opportunity to showcase to government our talented team and the world-class efforts that are being made to enhance grape, wine and cider production in Canada.”
Flack toured research laboratories, experienced a tasting of wines produced on site and was given an immersive look into the institute’s famous wine cellar which houses more than 40,000 bottles of research and VQA wines in the Canadian Wine Library.
Through its innovative research and analytical services that directly impact the grape and wine industry in Ontario, CCOVI plays a vital role in the province’s agricultural economy.
“Research and innovation are critical to the growth and success of Ontario’s agri-food industry. Our government is committed to accelerating this progress, and it is inspiring to see the world-class work being done at Brock University’s Cool Climate Oenology and Viticulture Institute,” Flack said. “Thank you to Brock University for the tour and for supporting the success of Ontario’s dynamic grape and wine sector.”
