I wanted to ask the grape producers about this.

You folks mention in your submission the excise tax on blended wines. Apparently, if it's an appellation, if it's 100% Ontario wine, you can avoid the excise tax. If it's a blended wine and you have some grapes in there from other areas—I am assuming other areas in Canada, or perhaps the States—you can't avoid the excise tax. Do they not have a formula that would allow you to work that on a percentage basis?
