Crush 2019

editor’s message
Another year,
another harvest.
2018 was ripe with wine production.
Of course, there were a few
obstacles along the way as well
that proved to be a damper in the
Canadian wine industry.
In this issue of Crush magazine, the
Canadian winery and management
publication, we explore how
the 2018 wildfires in B.C. could
potentially affect this year’s
harvest; will smoke taint transform
the quality and taste of 2019 wines?
And what about global warming?
Wineries across the world have
started to notice that they have
gotten an increase in growing days,
allowing the grapes to fully ripen
earlier.
We also take a look at some
unconventional wines, such as
orange wine and what makes it
unique, as well as a winery in
Ontario which make traditional
wines in an untraditional way. Of
course, let’s not forget the feature
on Winnipeg’s only winery, which
considering the climate of the
prairies, is an interesting business
venture to get into.
We hope you enjoy this issue of
Crush magazine and I invite you to
visit us online at crushmagazine.

news year-round. As always, we

ideas you may have, so feel free to
