Quebec makes three million bottles of wine per year, says Charles-Henri de Coussergues, winemaker at Vignoble de l’Orpailleur in Quebec’s Eastern Townships. By 2030, the goal is five million. “Right now, with no American wines, it’s going to help us, but they’re going to come back,” he adds through interpreter and son-in-law Alain Bazinet, head of vineyard operations. The SAQ has an excellent selection of wines from around the world, which is beneficial for consumers. But as a producer, it can make it difficult to compete. “The main concern right now is, when the American products come back, what are they going to do with all those extra (local) products they put in? So, people are happy on one side, but very nervous on the other.”
