Wine Bill amendment to clarify origins

Wine industry figures expect a new law clarifying a wine’s origin to come into force later this year. The industry has been lobbying government officials to amend legislation in the Geographical Indications (Wine and Spirits) Registration Act to have wine more clearly labelled. New Zealand Wine Growers legal advocacy manager Jeffrey Clarke said the Ministry of Primary Industry had been working on minor changes to the Act since legislation was passed in 2006.
