New Zealand: New Zealand Wine Sector Report for 2016
For 2016 New Zealand grape production rebounded strongly, up by 34%, over 2015 to be 436,000 metric tons second only to the 2014 harvest of 445,000 metric tons. Off-shore demand for New Zealand wine is brisk. The 314 million liters of wine that should be generated from the 2016 harvest will only just be enough to satisfy demand increases in 2016 and restore stocks to healthy levels.
