The Vintners Quality Alliance(VQA) is an Appellation of Origin system by which consumers can identify wines of Canada based on the origin of the grapes from which they are produced. With the VQA system, Canada joins other leading wine-producing countries in developing a body of regulations and setting high standards for its wines. In Ontario, the VQA officially began in 1988. The Ontario VQA encouraged the British Columbia wine industry to undertake a similar VQA program, which the province did in 1990. There are two distinct wine-producing regions in Canada : the provinces of Ontario and British Columbia. The VQA recognizes three Designated Viticultural Areas in Ontario, and four in British Columbia. EPThe VQA in Ontario is an independent alliance of wineries, grape growers, the provincial liquor regulator(the Liquor Control Board of Ontario), and academic, hospitality, and research institutions.
