NZ: Earthquake spares Canterbury wine industry
Feb 22, 2011 6
Canterbury wine producers are reporting being largely unaffected by the latest Christchurch earthquake. A 6.3 magnitude earthquake hit at 12.51pm local time but wineries are reporting little damage, with the epicentre to the east of the city in Lyttelton, rather than in the wine growing areas west of Christchurch.
Speaking to Decanter.com within hours of the quake, Celia Bosman of Sandihurst winery said, 'The whole place was swaying but we are fine, we have have been spared this time. We had much more damage last time as we were far closer to the epicentre. '
