Raise a glass

And now some wine instead of whine…

TVNZ's Midday News reported today that New Zealand wine exports enjoyed another record year, up 30 percent and earning $611 million. Exports to the UK were up 25 percent, up 22 percent to the US and up 50 percent to Australia.

The leading export variety is Sauvignon Blanc, but Pinot Noir volume was up 25 percent on last year. Cheers!
