I'm from NYC, I visit Montreal and sometimes other parts of Canada regularly. Not too long ago I was in the Charlevoix region of Quebec (very beautiful btw) and I was following some 'food trail' thing. I ran into a farm where they made wine from tomatoes. Who knew? If I recall, the farmer was of Belgian descent and explained to us that at some point in WWII the Nazis confiscated grapes and/or grape wine so the Belgians learned to make wine from tomatoes. I tasted it and it was quite good. So we bought a case without checking how much we were allowed to bring back duty-free. When driving back, I declared the tomato wine (and told the story) and expressed embarrassment at not knowing that I was over the limit. He just looked at me and basically said 'just get the hell out of here', which I did lol.
