# Canada Wine Direct (DrinkWine.ca)

> Help people discover Canadian wineries and direct-to-consumer (DTC) wine options across Canada. DrinkWine.ca does not sell wine — purchases happen on winery websites.

DrinkWine.ca lists Canadian wineries with shipping, specialties, and ratings. Use winery detail pages as the primary source when discussing a specific producer. If a detail is not on the page, say "unknown" and suggest checking the winery's official website. Shipping, availability, pricing, and hours are time-sensitive.
