In recent years wine regions have been demarcated (with some divided into sub-appellations), provincial wine laws have been adopted and indigenous and hybrid vines have largely been replaced by \u003cem\u003eVitis vinifera\u003c\/em\u003e varieties in the main wine regions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter taking readers through the history of winemaking in Canada, \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Wines of Canada\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e provides an overview of the country’s wine regions, their climate, soil and other geographic conditions, and explains noteworthy viticultural and winemaking techniques, such as the practice in some regions of burying vines to protect them from extreme winter temperatures.
