An Ontario winery has won its battle against a provincially regulated body over whether it can put its Prince Edward County location on its website.

The Old Third Vineyard was established more than a decade ago in Hillier, Ont., on the western side of Prince Edward County, one of Ontario's wine regions. Owners Bruno François and Jens Korberg prefer to operate outside the Vintners Quality Alliance Ontario, in which membership is voluntary.

In Ontario, only VQA members can say on their labels where their wine is from. Wineries that aren't members are forbidden from giving locations like Prince Edward County or Niagara-on-the-Lake.
