NEW ZEALAND WINES.
THE DOMINION AS A "CHAMPAGNE COUNTRY."
By Cable—Press Association—Copyright
Received 22, 8.30 p.m. Sydney, May 22. There was a representative gathering of wine merchants and Mr. Blunow (Government expert) at the New Zealand Government Bureau to test samples of the 1909-10 vintage of light wines produced New Zealand Government experimental vineyard at Waerenga. Mr Blunow said he looked forward to the time when there would be reciprocity between Australia and New Zealand, and wine would be amongst the products covered. Experts expressed the opinion that the wines were of good body, but wore capable of improvement as regards blending and finish. New Zealand should be an ideal champagne country. The trade could be made successful by careful liandling and the selecting of districts and vines. An interesting test was made of samples from other districts.
