Abstract
Described as marginal, cold winters and a short growing season pose the greatest challenges to growers and winemakers in the provinces of Nova Scotia and Quebec, Canada. In areas with suitable mesoclimates, and topographies, growers have mostly planted well‐adapted cold‐hardy hybrids. However, large‐scale production of the cold‐sensitive Vitis vinifera varieties demanded by consumers will depend greatly on their surviving the extremes of winter and reaching maturity in the short, cool growing season.Keywords
