Yesterday, about 30 people representing vineyards, the export industry, Acadia University, Perennia, Nova Scotia Business Inc. (NSBI) and various other government departments gathered at Acadia for Think Export – Wine Edition. After a networking lunch participants learned about services available to the wine industry and spent the majority of the afternoon learning the ropes about what to consider for various export markets. Participants also had an opportunity to tour the ALAB's brand new space and find out about the roles the various equipment plays in the analysis of their wine samples. Participants found the workshop to be very helpful and they appreciated access to the ‘export experts’!
