So wine kits based on ontario grapes may suffer. For instance
my latest kit was a Kendall Ridge Showcase Merlot. I had a
choice of Ontario or BC merlot. I chose the BC because, rightly
or wrongly, I couldn't remember Ontario producing good merlots.

I don't believe they can blend in more than 10% and still be
a VQA. Maybe we will see less VQA and more Meritage styles.

I think that's what I was answering.
