Ten speakers from across CCOVI\u2019s network of researchers, scientists, fellows and professional affiliates are participating in this year\u2019s series. Topics will span a wide range, from the latest research on grapevine hardiness to climate change in Canadian vineyards and the consumer psychology behind wine. The series will also bring in two Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada researchers from British Columbia to share their latest findings.<\/span><\/p>\n

The CCOVI Lecture Series began in 2007 and has become a highly anticipated event both locally and for those tuning in remotely through livestreaming.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are pleased to once again bring the latest in grape and wine research into the hands of grape growers and winemakers,\u201d said CCOVI Director Debbie Inglis. \u201cSharing knowledge and providing outreach opportunities like the lecture series is an important part of CCOVI\u2019s mandate and is of tremendous benefit to our industry and our students.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The free lectures, which are open to the public, begin Monday, Jan. 14 and take place in room<\/span> H313 of the Mackenzie Chown Complex<\/span><\/a> at Brock University. The lectures are open to the public and typically begin at 2 p.m., aside from the opening lecture Jan. 14, which will begin at 2:30.
