In B.C., trade war brings fresh uncertainty to wine industry still recovering from catastrophic cold snap

Stooping down amid rows of 20-year-old pinot noir vines, David Paterson bends a cordon into place, picturing how it might yield grapes this summer. A year ago, these plants appeared to be dead after a devastating cold snap. But he resisted the temptation to replant, and now his optimism is paying off.“There’s a long way to go, as far as regenerating the whole vineyard and getting back to normalcy,” said Mr. Paterson, the winemaker and general manager of Tantalus Vineyards. “We’re just thankful that it’s alive and we’re not pulling every one of these out of the ground.”
