New Zealand wines banned from entering leading Australian wine shows
May 25, 2011 6
Some of New Zealand’s leading wineries have been refused permission to enter their wines in the upcoming Royal Hobart Wine Show. Royal Hobart’s stated reason, as given by their Chief Executive Officer Scott Gadd, for this stance is that, “After lengthy deliberations over two years the committee has decided to no longer accept entries from outside Australia. This difficult decision is the result of a feeling that the original spirit of the agreement to open the show to New Zealand winemakers has not been honoured.”
