👉British Columbia's wine industry is bracing for "catastrophic crop losses" of up to 99%, with a February report revealing the impact of January's severe cold snap. Preliminary estimates indicate a mere one-to-three per cent typical yield for wine grapes, primarily from the Fraser Valley and Vancouver Island. The resulting loss, deemed an "almost complete writeoff of the 2024 vintage," may cost vineyards and wineries up to $346 million. Additional revenue losses of $99 million are expected for suppliers and distributors. The arctic intrusion, reaching below -20°C in the Okanagan Valley, exacerbated the damage, following a previous year's 58% production reduction.✅ .
