We’re much more spread out in Canada, with our grape-growing regions fairly concentrated (no pun intended.) So it makes sense to process the grapes more – down to kit form – than to ship grapes or juices, unless you have a good population to ship to. (Here in Toronto, the ‘Uva por Vino’ signs are everywhere, in season, and there are at least three presses on my block, but that’s an exception.)

What you say about being spread out is true, but I think the laws regarding beverages by have more to do with it than geography. We don’t use much more fresh juice than you do in Canada, but there are many more brew shops per M people than in this country. Could be the way things are taxed? Ed http://pages.cthome.net/edhome
