It is ludicrous to say that a regulation established in Canada regarding wine labelling "stands" in the US. We are quite capable of establishing our own wine labelling requirements, thank you very much. At most, it would mean that wine made outside of Canada could not be sold in Canada unless it met Canadian labelling requirements. Perhaps that's what you meant. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.
