“The Distilled Spirits Council, an industry group, estimated exports of U.S. distilled spirits to Canada at $43.4 million over the first six months of 2025, down about 62% from the same period in 2024. Exports of American wine were about 67% lower, the group said, citing U.S. trade data.”
Good job, Canada! Keep your elbows up!
There are a bunch of places in BC making gin, I can think of at least 15. Really interesting flavours and techniques. Two of my favourites are Victoria Gin and Sheringham Point. Tofino also has a good distillery. It’s the new craft alcohol scene since people are kinda off beer it seems. (I would add links but my internet is being wonky).
