"Canadian wines are now
equal, it not superior, in quality
to a large proportion of Euro-
pean wines."
Dr. J.F. Bowen, a microbiolo-
gist at the Agriculture Canada
Research Station atSurnmerland,
B.C., made this challenging
statement in reply to "a complete
misconception" that Canadian
wines are treated ivith chemicals
to age them while European wines
are pure.
"I have high regard for the
European wines," said Dr.
Bowen, an authority on wine
making processes.
"But it's absolutely unfair to
suggest our wines are inferior
because of some imagined chemi-
cal treatment."
Wine is aged in several ways.
After fermentation is com-
pleted, refrigeration will speed
the aging.process and help clear
the wine by causing precipitation
of naturally occurring potassium
tartrate.
,Storage over a long period
of time has the same effect.
"In the manufacture of all
wine, sulphur dioxide is used
to prevent undesirable fermenta-
tions which may lead to vinegar
taints and other bad flavors,"
said Dr. Bowen.
"It also helps to preserve
the color of •the wine,
"In Canada, it is added at
about 100 parts per million con-
centration. In Europe; con-
siderably more is commonly used
- often 300 to 400 parts per mil-
lion.
"So we have only one
so-called chemical used in our
wines. This is no different than
European wines, except that we
use even less."
Sulphur dioxide is also
commonly used to safely
preserve fruits and vegetables.
A small amount of air is
incorporated during the process
of racking to help smooth the
wine.
Canadian sherry is stored at
elevated temperatures for a short
period of time to produce its
characteristic nutty flavor.
"This is essentially the same
treatment received by Madeira
wines in their native areas and
by the brown Spanish sherries,"
said Dr. Bowen.
Filtration is the final treat-
ment of the wine before bottling.
It is considered part of the aging
process, he said.
"Our filtration methods are
generally more exacting than
those of Europe. As a result,
our table wines do not develop
sediment on storage."
Canadian wines are derived
from grape varieties suited to
our conditions, he said.
Some labrusca or American
varieties, such as Concord, pro-
duce wines with a characteristi-
cally fruity labrusca flavor.
"Newer hybrid grapes de-
veloped by crossing European, or
vinifera, varieties with American
varieties yield wines virtually
indistinguishable from European
wines.
"As a result, Canadian wines
now match, and sometimes sur-
pass, the quality of European
wines."
Continuing research in
breeding and selecting new grape
varieties and improving wine-
making techniques will ensure
this high quality is maintained,
Dr. Bowen said.
