As part of its mandate to support growth in the wine industry, the Ministry of Agriculture has a number of exceptional programs in place. One that is highly beneficial to BC wineries and wine industry associations is the B.C. Agrifood and Seafood Market Development Program.

Quini is a pre-qualified consultant to provide Market Research Services to BC wineries and wine industry associations, under the program.

As a B.C. based wine producer or industry association, a winery can today verify its eligibility and apply for funding for sensory and attitudinal market research projects, led by Quini, for the 2022 program year, at the link above. The application process opens November 24, 2021, with the final project submission deadline being December 9, 2021.

Having successfully helped BC wineries with their applications in 2021, Quini's team is happy to discuss your market research goals and assist you with the application process.

Approved projects may receive funding subsidy from the Investment Agriculture Foundation of B.C. of up to 50 percent of the cost of research, for a total of CAD $20,000 dollars annually for wine producers and up to $75,000 for industry associations, boards and councils.

Interested wineries or associations can email Quini with questions or request assistance with the application process, at sales@quiniwine.com.

Quini’s industry-leading consumer sensory and attitudinal market research data and technology solutions enable wine producers and associations to evaluate and analyze products, and understand target consumers and new markets, with unique, proprietary data and analytics accessed on-demand, with new insight delivered approximately at 33 percent or less of the time and cost of traditional market research.

We are proud to have served and to call several BC wineries Quini clients. We look forward to making your next market research project too, possible and highly successful.
