WELLINGTON: Exports of New Zealand wine rose by 10% in value to reach nearly NZ$1.6 billion in the year to 30 June, said New Zealand Winegrowers.
Extra wine from the 2016 vintage is expected to boost export volumes by a tenth over the next year, the trade body added.
Steve Green, NZ Winegrowers chair, said the latest figures show that exports are ‘well on track’ to hit the target of $2bn by 2020.
