Alliance of Canadian Wine Consumers

(ACWC) is a grassroots, volunteer alliance of wine lovers whose goal is to change the provincial and federal laws so Canadians can purchase not-for-resale wine directly from Canadian wineries in other provinces and have it shipped to their homes. The simple act of bringing a bottle of Canadian wine home from an out-of-province vacation or taking a bottle to a friend’s cottage in another province is illegal. Heaven forbid you should try to order a bottle from a winery in another province!

This is an outdated and patronizing law that needs to change. Canadians should be able to buy, order and ship Canadian wines across provincial borders for personal use without getting a fine or jail time and a criminal record.

Federal-provincial discussions have been initiated. Change will only happen if we tell politicians what we want.

We’ve made it easy for you to tell your provincial MPP/MLA/MNA and federal Member of Parliament that you want the laws changed so you can buy great Canadian wines.
