Latest Deep Freeze: A Disaster or Opportunity?
Is the latest deep freeze a disaster or an opportunity for the B.C. wine industry? Time will tell. I think it’s an opportunity to reset a fractured sector to another level, one few considered possible in 1990 when the move to land-based wineries began in earnest.
The question is, will there be any crop to speak of this year, and more importantly, will the vines have survived sufficiently to produce fruit next year?
