Though Canada has produced wine commercially for many years, the industry really began to flourish in 1988 with the introduction of the Vintner's Quality Alliance (VQA) appellation system which guarantees quality and authenticity of origin for Canadian wines. Ontario (primarily Niagara Peninsula) and British Columbia (primarily Okanagan Valley) are responsible for 98 percent of quality wine production, though there is also a growing industry in Nova Scotia and Quebec.
