“New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc has come from humble beginnings, and is now a $1.2 billion dollar export earner, boosting New Zealand Wine to be the country’s sixth largest export,” said Chris Yorke, Director of Global Marketing for New Zealand Winegrowers.

“We think that’s a success story worth celebrating, so raise a glass to the wine that put New Zealand on the map on May 6!”
