NZ wine exports continue to rise despite "difficult" global market

Wine drinkers across the globe are continuing to reach for Kiwi made bottles. 

Our wine exports reached over $2 billion, with export volume increasing to over 306 million litres, in the 12 months to June. 

Overall sales have increased 8% and represent the industry’s second-highest June year total on record. 

New Zealand Winegrowers Chief Executive Anishka Jelicich told Mike Hosking in a difficult market, Kiwis are winning. 

She says we are making fresher, lighter styles, rather than heaver ones some competitor countries are making.
