Wine making is an important social and recreational activity in the Italian community. In 1964, members of Edmonton and Calgary's Italian communities developed a petition to make wine making legal—up to that point, individuals who did this were breaking the law. The Government of Alberta accepted that they were making the wine for home consumption and allowed wholesalers to import grapes, juice and wine making supplies. There has been an Italian store and wholesale on this corner since the beginnings of Little Italy.
