I personally wouldn't make my gravy with it, but hey, to each his own.
I give my father fabulous and expensive reds occasionally because he loves red wine. I'm pretty sure he'd take his box of Copper Moon over anything I give him any day. We're all different.
I still think AC should just be honest and admit that any wine worth buying from Canada simply costs too much. With people like me aboard their aircraft asking for more wine every 8 minutes I'm pretty sure we'd kill their slim margins.
Of course. Just like anything else in life. I find that wine and beer incite stronger opinion wars than say, Scotch Whiskey and Whiskey, for example.
However, my understanding was that your initial comment was in relation to a blanket statement made about all Canadian wines? I could be wrong, as I am wrong about 98.2% of the time in this forum.
