She says craft producers have turned locally made cider into one of the province’s emerging success stories.   LCBO sales of locally made craft cider grew by 54% in 2015-16 to a total of $5.1-million.
The LCBO is seeking bids from another 70 grocery stores to sell beer, cider and wine beginning this fall.
Ontario began selling six-packs in several dozen grocery stores last December.
In the first four months, sales were close to $8-million.
