The FreshTAP system – wine in kegs and available on tap, draft beer-style – has been pouring into gastropubs and restaurants in key markets across North America. With only one or two modest exceptions (Nichol Vineyard’s Pinot Gris at Naramata Heritage Inn and prosecco imported from Italy), FreshTAP stayed out of B.C., at least until early 2012 when Vancouver Urban Winery arrived on the scene. Since then B.C. wineries have been quick to jump on the bandwagon and try out the new approach to selling wine by the glass.
