Uncertainty in the wine industry, despite an upturn in harvests

Global wine company Delegat Group says crops this season were up 39-percent on last year's disappointing season - topping 47-thousand tonnes.

Exports reached more than 2-billion-dollars in the March 2025 year, up more than two-percent.

NZ Winegrowers CEO, Philip Gregan , says the industry's delighted with the quality, but the future's not clear.

He says tariffs into the US and general economic uncertainty are to blame.
