Oh, that's true - I do like Rieslings. And I've had some very good dry reds in Germany too, but I used to find those by going to wineries and asking for the driest red they had, and then buying whatever they presented to me - I never had any luck trying to pick them out in the grocery store myself.
Boxed wine can be good too! They also sometimes sell wine in tetra packs...which, um, doesn't look very classy either, but I've bought those before too.
Grapes don't grow in most of Canada, so Canadian wine isn't THAT big of a market. I feel like I should know more about BC wines, since grapes actually grow in BC...but I don't. I've been to the Mission Hill winery in the Okanagan and had some good wine there... I had a red that was actually a blend of 4 grapes (a Quatrain, I think they called it), and it was AMAZING, but it was also $40 a bottle and yeah... like I said, being unsophisticated about my wine is easier on the wallet.
