Earthquake Impact: Wineries Open for Business
This week’s earthquakes were widely felt throughout both the South and North Islands. Marlborough and North Canterbury vineyards and wineries were affected with some reports of broken bottles and damaged tanks which is what you would expect in an earthquake of this size.
New Zealand Winegrowers have received numerous enquiries as to how the damage has impacted the New Zealand wine industry. “After visiting a number of our members in Marlborough and North Canterbury region it appears that the productive capacity is intact and there have been no reported injuries among members.” said Philip Gregan, CEO of New Zealand Winegrowers.
Most winery cellar doors are open for business. Taking into account the time of year and current available information, New Zealand Winegrowers expects there will be little impact on the production and ability to supply markets.
