22 Oct US-Canada Alcohol Battle Sees South Australia Benefit
South Australian wine producers sold an additional $6.4 million of wine (an increase of 15.6%) to Canada in the five months after the country’s largest liquor retailer; the Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO), removed US wine from its shelves.
The LCBO’s decision to remove US bottles off their shelves in response to Trump’s tariffs left a gap that needed to be filled. This saw Australian wine sales increase 15% – the highest of any nation – with South Australian wine contributing to three quarters of all wine sold within that category.
In total, $47.5 million of South Australian wine was sold to Canada between April and August compared to $41.1 million in the same five-month period in 2024.
