Brock University’s Cool Climate Oenology and Viticulture Institute (CCOVI) recently announced that it is expanding access to the Canadian Wine Library for scholars, media members, and other special interest groups. The library is a non-profit, revolving collection of domestic and VQA wines; Brock holds the wine in trust and has administered the library since 2008. CCOVI Manager of Professional Studies and Outreach Barb Tatarnic said that the collection will serve several benefits, including helping to demonstrate how Canadian wines improve with age and inform consumers on what they can expect from Canadian wines. “To have a place for wines to be properly stored and made available for private and public tastings and educational purposes is so important to our industry,” said Inniskillin Head Winemaker Nicholas Gizuk.
