Join Tania for her discussion with Mark Hicken, a leading liquor policy expert, former “wine lawyer” and Executive Director of the Canadian Association for Responsible Drinkers (www.cafrd.ca). Tania and Mark consider the legacy of North America’s early 20th century Prohibition Era as it relates to the complex myriad of rules and regulations governing how we make, sell, purchase, taste and experience wine.

Although much of this episode relates specifically to rules around alcohol in British Columbia, Tania and Mark discuss some current trends and hot topics in the global wine industry which are of broader application and importance to producers and consumers alike, such as changes in wine labelling, proposed low-risk drinking guidelines and rise in Neo-Prohibitionism.

More than 100 years have passed since the repeal of Prohibition. Where are we now?
