Personally, I'd like to see AC show case Canadian wines in the lounges or maybe for a few routes, say top 10 most popular.
Doesn't have to be the entire selection, but maybe out of 6 wines, 1-2 are Canadian. By Canadian I mean VQA, none of this cellared in Canada plonk.
YVR/YYC based flights wines get BC wines, and YYZ/YUL could get ON wines.
Exactly how I feel. The most recent round of wines on board are just horrendous. On a narrowbody this week I had a choice of two horrible Rieslings. The Henry of Pelham Riesling is sooooo much better. Two equivalently horrible Spanish reds.

I will take the little bottles of plonk. And that is saying something.
