Bill C-31 Opens Borders to Wines from Across the Country
Posted by Elke Semerad
The passage of the federal bill paves the way for wine to flow from one province to another. To date, interprovincial trade barriers and other government regulations made it difficult for wine lovers, including our Wine Guy Craig Pinhey.
