Last call for winemakers to enter awards (NZ)

Entries are open for the 2012 New World Wine Awards. In addition to the distinction of an award that recognises quality on the same international scale as all other wine competitions, winning winemakers are guaranteed national distribution and extensive brand exposure, driving sustained sales. In 2011, winners saw wine disappear off shelves in record time. Over 250,000 bottles of the 50 top wines, with a retail value in excess of $3.3m, were sold throughout New World supermarkets in the first six weeks of the award results being announced, reports Voxy News Engine.
