Craft Wine and Spirit Changes

The Government of Saskatchewan announced changes in 2016 for the craft alcohol industry.

• Make it easy to get started as a craft alcohol producer in Saskatchewan.
• Have a competitive markup structure.
• Reduce red tape for craft producers.
• Streamline access to the marketplace.
