Wine industry votes for continued levy funding

The New Zealand wine industry has shown resounding support for their national organisation by voting positively in the 2015 levy referenda, enabling New Zealand Winegrowers to receive continued levy funding. Electionz.com, who facilitated the levy referenda, released results yesterday which show 87 per cent of wineries (98 per cent by volume) voting in favour of the wine levy, and 90 per cent of grapegrowers (92 per cent by value) voting in favour of the grape levy.
