Wine Boom Continues

NZ wine producers are going for quantity as well as quality, with 2004 officially the largest vintage on record. At 166,000 tons, the national harvest was 40% higher than the previous high of 118,700 tons in 2002. Reflecting its status as the country’s best-known and best-selling varietal, Sauvignon Blanc made up 42% of the overall vintage.
