Fair Trade Wines
Posted February 24th 2010
MCIC’s Fair Trade Manitoba program congratulates the Manitoba Liquor Control Commission (MLCC) for its commitment to sourcing Fair Trade Certified wines. There are now almost twenty different fair trade wines from Argentina, Chile and South Africa available in red and white at most Manitoba Liquor Marts in Winnipeg and around the province. They can be identified by the international fair trade logo and by “shelf talkers” (signs that describe the item) affixed below them in stores.

Fair Trade FAQs
What is Fair Trade?
Fair trade is an approach to international trade that is based on a more equitable and sustainable form of exchange among producers, traders and consumers than conventional forms of trade and exchange that now dominate the market.
Fair Trade Leaders
Fair Trade Manitoba recognizes groups and organizations that have fair trade purchasing policies – not only for one month, but as an ongoing element of their operations.
If your Manitoba-based organization has adopted a fair trade purchasing policy, please contact us and we will gladly add you to the list. We hope it grows by leaps and bounds!
