It’s a bleak outlook for domestic wine production, with a two-decade low forecast.
Estimates suggest New Zealand's output will be down 21% this year.
Director-General of International Organisation of Vine and Wine, John Barker says it's largely due to frost damage in Marlborough.
He told Heather du Plessis-Allan other climate issues contributed to a low wine output from the Southern Hemisphere.
Barker says the Northern Hemisphere will be likely worse because of a small harvest from France.
