MLA Stone says grocery store wine sales comply with NAFTA regulations
KAMLOOPS — Save-On Foods has been selling wine at its Sahali location since October, after a lengthy struggle to get a variance passed that would allow for wine sales within the store.
Now, the U.S. is challenging the program that allows exclusively B.C. wine sales in grocery stores.
The trade enforcement action launched under the Obama administration last week claims the sale of B.C.-only wine discriminates against the sale of U.S. wine, as well as other imported wines.
