Sales of Ontario wine have increased by over 60 per cent since the LCBO pulled American products off its shelves earlier this year, signalling a shift in buying habits among consumers in the province, the retailer says.

"Ontarians are increasingly committed to buying local and Canadian products," an LCBO spokesperson said in a statement.

"VQA wine (made from 100% Ontario-grown grapes) has seen a sales increase of over 60%, with VQA reds and whites seeing growth of 71% and 67% respectively, and VQA sparkling wine growing by +28%."
