  • About

Brock, leading university in canada for wine-related academe. It is home to the Cool Climate Oenology and Viticulture Institute (CCOVI) established in 1996. Graduates make wine all over the world with particularly large contingents in California and Ontario. CCOVI is also the home of North America’s only undergraduate degree programme in the study of cool climate grape growing and winemaking. Student exchange programmes include partnerships with Okanagan University College in British Columbia, the Nova Scotia Agricultural College, lincoln University in New Zealand, the University of Udine in Italy, and dijon. In viticulture, studies include the effects on wine quality of different vine training systems, vine spacing, irrigation, and shoot thinning; Niagara terroir using gps, control of disease (particularly powdery mildew) and pests (particularly Asian lady beetle—see ladybug taint), the elucidation of odour-active compounds in Canadian icewines, and the effects of canopy management and oenological treatments on red wine composition and taste. Studies in winemaking have focused, non-exclusively, on the production of Icewine. Niagara College offers a Winery & Viticulture course as well as a graduate course in Wine Business Management.
