The end of the year is fast approaching so some end of year thoughts on a few of the significant developments of the year to wrap things up!

New Zealand Winegrowers welcome the announcement of a proposed Free Trade Agreement between New Zealand and the EU.

New Zealand Winegrowers are happy with the historic Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) deal reached overnight in Atlanta, Georgia.

New Zealand Winegrowers say a new Tariff Amendment Bill is a big step towards implementing the Free Trade Agreement with South Korea.

Vintage 2015 was 27 percent down on last year, and while wineries may be bemoaning the small yields they certainly aren’t unhappy about the quality.

First, thanks to all those members who participated in the Governance referendum which was held online between 18 and 29 May.

A smaller, quality vintage further enhances New Zealand's reputation as a world-class wine producer, says NZ Winegrowers CEO Philip Gregan.

Wine exports have reached a record high and now stand at $1.37 billion, up 8.2%, propelling wine to New Zealand's 6th biggest export product.

While 2015 is barely underway it seems already that the New Year promises to be another important one for the industry.

When Philip Gregan and myself sat down to discuss who or what should be the recipient of this year’s New Zealand Winegrower Personality of the Year, he was quick to point out the back story behind vintage 2014 – mechanical thinning.
