Question 2

Ontario has three DVAs of which the most important is the _________1_______ on the south-western corner of Lake Ontario. The lake cools down and heats up more slowly than the surrounding land. This extends the growing season in the autumn allowing grapes to ripen fully and delays budburst in the spring, helping to minimise frost damage. Air flow helps to reduce fungal disease.

2= Vidal

Question 4

British Columbia has five DVAs, the most important of which is the ______1________. This huge DVA lies in a rain shadow between two mountain ranges, which results in very low annual average rainfall and a semi-desert environment. Day lengths throughout the growing season are extremely long due to the northern latitude, and this prolongs the time in which photosynthesis can take place, aiding grape ripening.
