China Shanghai, cheers for New Zealand wine

The difficulty of being a premium wine in a market that tends either towards mid-range or prestige

In China, consumers are eating out as a necessity, not as a luxury. The cost of doing business has gone up, rents are so high. People are no longer willing to pay the high prices, and you see a lot more wines in the reasonable price bracket.

New Zealand produces wines in the premium area. They are not able to compete with the value end of the product range. So New Zealand is only in the premium area. But New Zealand is unfortunately not in the super-premium category.

New Zealand has a unique factor; it is a neutral country, it doesn’t have strong links with the US or with Europe And the aromatic properties, the purity of New Zealand wines, is not seen anywhere else in the world because of the unique climatic conditions.*
