B.C wine industry desperate for workers

Does working at a winery sound like a dream job?

B.C. winemakers say they are desperate for you to make that dream a reality.

Val Tait, General Manager and Winemaker at Bench 17-75 in Naramata, says a lack of employees is the biggest challenge facing the B.C. wine industry.
