“This is Our Wine, We’re Going to Drink It”: Exploring Newfoundland and Labrador Terroir through Berry Wines
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Berry wines are a popular product in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. Produced both commercially and at home, these wines are made from small fruits that thrive on this land. Wine has been an important import commodity since European colonization in the sixteenth century, and later an important homemade product. Through archival research and an interview with a local berry wine maker, this paper articulates the localized significance of berry wines using the concept of terroir.
