The provincial and federal governments are spending $75,000 on a feasibility study on the creation of a BC Wine Centre of Excellence.

“A BC Wine Centre of Excellence would serve as an educational platform for B.C.’s wine and tourism industry, helping visitors learn more about our province’s unique wine-growing regions, as well as the wine making process,” MP for Kelowna-Lake Country Stephen Fuhr’s office said in a media release.

The study should be done by this summer.

There is no word yet on exactly where the centre would be built.
