Ontario winery forced to pour out product after deliberate tank tampering

KINGSVILLE, Ont. – An Ontario winery has had to dispose of 250,000 litres of its product after someone deliberately tampered with tanks on the property.

Provincial police say the incident took place at the Pelee Island Winery in Kingsville, Ont.

The Pelee Island Winery did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
