Wales should promote its wine, cider and beer industries to mirror the success of countries like New Zealand, according to a committee of AMs.A plan was needed to realise the economic potential of the homegrown drinks industry, said the AMs.The report says industry newcomers should have government guidance.It wants support for research into barley and hop cultivation and reform of "beer ties", which force landlords to buy from pub owners.The report, by the cross party Rural Development Sub-Committee, has been welcomed by brewers and consumers' groups.
