Survey into growing wine industry

A survey into the growth of the Marlborough wine industry and its impact on the labour market will be a “guiding document” going forward, an industry expert says. Wine Marlborough general manager Marcus Pickens said more than 60 grapegrowers, wine companies and labour contractors would be interviewed as part of the research. The survey, which started on Monday, was the most comprehensive study into the future impact of the industry to date, Pickens said.
