Canada itself does not have many wine regulations. However, in order to increase the quality of Canadian wine, many of Canada's top producers banded together to create the Vintner’s Quality Alliance (VQA).
This alliance enacted many regulations similar to the French AOC, such as defined appellation boundaries, accepted grape varietals, and vineyard and winemaking practices.
VQA participation is voluntary, and Canadian producers that are members of this alliance may use the VQA seal on wine bottles after the wine has been tested and approved by the alliance’s governing body.
