ENVIRONMENT Wineries that produce SWO Certified wines are audited annually on use and conservation of water, reduction in waste and wastewater and implementation of energy efficiency programs, including the use of sustainable power sources. ECONOMY SWO Certified wines are always VQA, meaning they are locally crafted from 100% Ontario-grown grapes. These wines play an integral role in Ontario’s overall economic health by helping to preserve local economies and drive growth for tourism.
