have your favourite in stock. Search for wine by country of origin,
price catagory and more. You'll also find excellent advice on wine,
liquor and fine dining including recipes.
Cider, Mead
Wine and Vinegar
Once upon a time
Canadian wines were suitable for cooking - period!. Now with our wineries
bringing back gold medals from France, we can bring the bottles out
of the kitchen with pride. Wineries are springing up all over the country,
inspired by the success of our early pioneers in this area. Quebec is
certainly coming into its own, particularly in the Eastern Townships
and the Monteregie Regions. Take the opportunity to visit one of the
wineries, which offer tasting tours and often have wine bars and restaurants,
we're sure you'll be impressed. Some of the wineries also have accommodations
ranging from simple B&Bs to rooms in luxurious estates.

Holidays
Quebec shares most
of the same holidays as the rest of Canada with the exception of Saint-Jean
Baptiste Day which is June the 24th. Other Canadian provinces make up
for this by having an additional holiday usually on the first Monday
in August. As a general rule, all provinces and territories have holidays
to mark or celebrate the following:
New Years Day -
January 1
Good Friday and /or Eastern Monday - Movable
Victoria Day - Monday before the 25th May
Sainte Jean-Baptiste - June 24
Canada Day - July 1
Labour Day - First Monday in September
Thanksgiving - Second Monday in October (not in sync with American Thanksgiving)
Christmas - December 25
Note: Some of these
holidays are movable, usually to the nearest Monday or Friday of the
week in which they fall.
