In 2019, Icewine accounted for only 13 per cent of Canada’s export volume but a whopping 58 per cent of its value (as a percentage of total bottled exports). Coined as Canadian “liquid gold,” its status as a luxurious and special wine has put the country’s winemaking and craftsmanship on the international wine map.

So why is Icewine so expensive and how has it become a source of Canadian pride?
