Global Beverage Trade and Company Overviews
New Zealand can continue to to grow beverage production for the foreseeable future
WINE PRODUCTION
New Zealand is a rapidly emerging New World wine region with
significant capacity for future growth and no major production

Wine is New Zealand's largest beverage export
- New Zealand grape area and wine production has grown
dramatically over the past twenty years in response to growing
global demand for New Zealand wine
Absolute area growth is coming from Sauvignon Blanc; of other
varietals, Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir are achieving traction
- New Zealand has wineries spread across the country; however,
about two-thirds of grape area is in Marlborough
As the largest, most mature region, Marlborough leads in terms of
both (1) tonnes per winery and (2) tonnes per hectare
While Marlborough is clearly the leading region, a number of the
smaller regions are growing, particularly recognised red producers
Hawke's Bay (Syrah), Canterbury/Waipara (Pinot Noir), and
Central Otago (Pinot Noir)
Peer group performance suggests New Zealand has significant
potential capacity to increase wine area over the mid-to-long run
OTHER BEVERAGE PRODUCTION
New Zealand can and does produce a range of other beverages
beyond wine, again with few limitations on potential production

New Zealand produces significant volumes of both key beer
ingredients (hops and barley); beer production trending down in
recent years reflecting the market movement to "less but better
quality"
New Zealand is a major global producer and exporter of apples and
kiwifruit, as well as developing and pioneering a wide range of new
varieties and species
New Zealand has significant quantities of raw materials available to
produce alcoholic spirits
New Zealand has an abundant supply of quality natural water and
thousands of springs; natural springs are located primarily in two
zones (Taupo Volcanic Zone and the Southern Alps Zone)
Due to its unique history, New Zealand has a range of unique or
signature ingredients and flavours suitable for use in beverages
