Our aim is to welcome, connect, educate and inform; from promoting relationships that strengthen the “grain to Glass” process of premium distilled products, to driving industry success with, and for, our distilled spirits counterparts across the world on moderate and responsible consumption of alcohol, current issues, sustainability, economic impact, policy and data.

Moderation and Responsibility

The vast majority of Canadians consume alcohol wisely and in moderation. But no matter what you choose to drink, whether it be beer, wine or spirits, alcohol is alcohol.
