The wine industry is trying to stay positive.
It's facing an oversupply of sorts after around 100 thousand tonnes of grapes —about a fifth of the crop— were left on the vine last year.
Some growers put it down to people changing their drinking habits globally, others blame the pandemic, tax increases, and US tariffs.
New Zealand Winegrowers Chief Executive Philip Gregan told Mike Hosking there are issues, but they will keep making quality products.
He says long term, the industry is confident it's producing the types of wines people want to drink.
