March 1st marked 10 years since the New Zealand Grape Growers Council and the Wine Institute of New Zealand joined forces and formed New Zealand Winegrowers.

10 years on we are about to see some exciting changes at NZ Winegrowers. Late last year the Board received the PricewaterhouseCoopers Strategic Review and we are now well into the phase of implementing the changes recommended by PwC.

Next week you will receive the first of a series of updates on our progress with implementing these Strategic Review changes. When you receive the update, if you have any thoughts or comments, please contact me at your convenience.

In the meantime, best wishes for the forthcoming vintage.
Cheers

Philip Gregan | Chief Executive Officer | New Zealand Winegrowers

I'm currently in my fourth year at Massey University, studying for a Bachelors in Design ( Honours) majoring in Visual Communication and Advertising. For my final year project, I am looking at how to improve the competitiveness of New Zealand food and beverages in the international market through branding, marketing and advertising- specifically NZ wines in China.
I'm currently in the research phase of the project and have a few questions:
1. How are New Zealand wines currently positioning themselves in the China Market?
2. Who is the main target audience?
3. What sort of marketing, advertising or branding activities have been done so far to promote New Zealand wines to China?
4. And would you consider the approach to be successful so far?
Any answers would be much appreciated!
Cece Chu

2011 is New Zealand?s year. No matter where you live in the country, you?ll experience the excitement of what it means to be host of Rugby World Cup 2011. Hosting is more than putting on a great event and making sure our visitors have a fabulous time, it?s about taking the opportunity to show the rest of the world what we?re made of, and how unique we are. As New Zealanders, we can play a huge part in showing our international visitors a great time while they?re here for the Tournament.

There are many ways New Zealanders can get involved in Rugby World Cup 2011, from volunteering at matches, to creating events to showcase New Zealand, to business hosting.
The NZ 2011 Office has been set up by the Government to help New Zealanders to get involved in RWC 2011, and to create lasting benefits for our industries, businesses and communities. The office has a range of programmes designed to do just that, including a nationwide festival, sector showcase and business initiatives.

The NZ 2011 Business Club is one such...

This Bill implements a major reform of the Sale of Liquor Act. It represents both a significant risk and a major opportunity for the wine sector in terms of regulatory restrictions and compliance costs.

We have prepared a lengthy submission outlining issues arising from the Bill, a draft of which is available with a link to the Bill in the members section of nzwine.com under ?Legal?.

This is just a gentle reminder that the online registration deadline for the next Asia roadshow in China and Japan has now passed. There are still places available at these events, so please don?t hesitate to visit www.nzwinemarketing.com under All Event Proposals for more information or to register.

A special note about CHINA ? URGENT FREIGHT DEADLINES

If you have any intention of participating in the wine fairs in Beijing (12 April 2011) and Shanghai (14 April 2011) then we would encourage you to register as soon as possible for these events on www.nzwinemarketing.com. We issued the event update request to the wineries who have already registered on Tuesday of this week and, due to the complicated and long customs clearance process in China, will be sending the consolidated shipment of wines to the fairs at the end of January 2011.

Please note that if you have not registered for the China events and submitted your wines by this time, there will be no further opportunities to send wines on the NZW consolidated shipment from New Zealand.

Unfortunately the Chinese authorities do not recognise samples, so each wine sent from NZ for...
