In winemaking terminology, these regions are referred to as British Columbia appellation of origin regions. The same can be said for the 3 regions in Ontario.
What are sub-appellations? These are regions chosen because of their extremely specific geographical locations, offering different soils and climate than the rest of the overall region.
Each of these regions offers uniqueness in grape content, producing wines and varietals often found only in these select regions. Out of the 9 regions in BC, there is one sub-appellation. Out of the 3 regions in Ontario, there are 10 sub-appellations.
These regions have again been chosen because of climate, soil, and grape variety content found often in only these select regions. Searching Availability We also use different external services like Google Webfonts, Google Maps, and external Video providers.

In addition, regulations establish detailed standards for specific claims of origin and for each individual style and type of wine. Wine-making standards are described in full in regulations made under the VQA Act.
Always look for the statement of origin on the label — VQA appellation name VQA — all VQA wines must show these markings if they are certified to be true appellation wines. Wines that do not qualify are prohibited from using regulated appellation terms. The label on a VQA wine can tell you a lot about what is in the bottle.
