Vintners Quality Alliance
Vintners Quality Alliance, or VQA, is a regulatory and appellation system which guarantees the high quality and authenticity of origin for Canadian wines made under that system in British Columbia and Ontario. It is similar to regulatory systems in France (AOC), Spain (DO), Italy (DOC), and Germany (QmP). The VQA system allows for sub-appellations, by which the grapes for wines are sourced from extremely specific geographical locations with different soil and climate. This is in accordance with the concept of ''terroir''.〔J. Robinson (ed) ''"The Oxford Companion to Wine"'' Third Edition pg 759 Oxford University Press 2006 ISBN 0-19-860990-6〕
In addition, there are other classifications of wine in Canada. British Columbia has a category known as ''"Wines of Distinction"'' and Nova Scotia has ''"Wines of Nova Scotia"''. Both must be 100 percent made from grapes grown in British Columbia or Nova Scotia. Cellared in Canada is a completely separate category.〔G. Hamiliton "(Sale of cheap imports as B.C. wines called 'scandalous' )" ''National Post Vancouver Sun'', September 20th, 2009.〕
==Requirements==
In addition to the requirements regarding sources of grapes, VQA wines may be made from ''Vitis vinifera'' grape variety and approved hybrid varieties. In British Columbia, VQA wines are made primarily with ''vinifera'' grapes, while Ontario uses a range of vinifera varieties and notably permits the use of Vidal, particularly in the production of some of Canada's icewines.〔J. Gordon (ed) ''Opus Vino'' pg 126-130, DK Publishing New York 2010, ISBN 978-0-7566-6751-1〕
VQA wines may be made with grapes from relatively small agricultural yields per vine (which increases quality), they meet specific sugar or brix levels at harvest, and the use of additives is regulated. There are also standards regulating the use of certain types of packaging and closures. To receive the VQA designation, wine must undergo testing by the regulating bodies. There is no standard location on the bottle for the VQA logo.
