Last year, Italy stole the number one title from France for the first time in ages. But France is back, set to produce 4.81 billion litres of wine in 2009 according to an Italian study. Italy will produce 4.65 billion and Spain, 3.99 billion.
Amidst all this vying and positioning from the traditional wine-producing greats, Wines of Ontario is encouraging Ontarians to Think Global. Drink Local.
The argument? Great wines don't need to cost a lot –and not all great wines come from exotic destinations.
The Wines of Ontario website allows the user to explore Ontario wine terroir, wines, appellations and grapes. The 30 Day Challenge encourages its participants to drink only Ontario wines during this period of time.
Sign up on the button below if you are interested in participating in the challenge. You can also follow the dialogue on Twitter here. They have a Facebook group, but I don't care about Facebook lately so I didn't bother hyperlinking.
The locavore movement encourages people to eat local foods that in season. By transporting products minimally, they stay more fresh and can be picked more ripe. Local movements also help the environment by minimizing fuel emissions from transportation.
Supporting your local community never hurts either.
Consider taking the 30 Day Challenge from Wines of Ontario.
