There have been a varied set of opinions coming from many players in the British Columbia Wine industry regarding the promulgation of the new Regulations and Enforcement Agency, a new regulating body to be headed by the British Columbia Wine Authority where, based on the Wines of Marked Quality regulations, entities producing wine for commercial purposes must follow a set of guidelines and standards for winemaking and labeling.

This new promulgation was set to ensure that all winemakers in the industry at least enter the market with a fixed set of minimum quality for the benefit it their consumers.

While the British Columbia Wine Institute, of which 90% of its constituents represent the British Columbia wine industry, welcomes this idea of regulation, the Association of British Columbia Winegrowers – specifically over 30 of its members – is seeking legal advice on the matter, saying that law that has been issued was not what they expected. The matters of disagreement are based on issues of discrimination in terms of how the policy limits access to the provincial government approved VQA wine stores.

Dundee’s 12^th Maple Wine Co. will be dealing with their crush this year with their new wastewater treatment system, catching the eyes of the global wine industry with this newly applied technology.

The system actually involved wineries connecting into their sewer systems for waste treatment purposes, making for an easier albeit relatively safe means of disposing grape bulks produced by companies every year.

This was Assistant Winemaker Chris Baker’s remedy to an incredibly overpriced former system of treating raw waste from 12^th Maple Wine Co., where they used pay off as much as $180,000 to have their grape waste taken away by groups of vacuum trucks. This apparently caused major economic setbacks for the company, urging Baker to come up with a solution.

Now 12^th Maple Wine Co. doesn’t have to deal with their overtaxed system anymore since the system, like most industries that have already implemented it has proven, will be saving the company hundreds of thousands of dollars every year.
