Police warn of greater grape spill risk on Marlborough roads this harvest

Police are urging heavy machinery drivers and the motoring public to follow the road rules and avoid grape spills this harvest. Senior constable Paul McKenzie, of the South Island Commercial Vehicle Investigation Unit, said last year there was a significant reduction in the number of spills. Speaking at the Wine Marlborough pre-harvest information day, on Thursday, McKenzie said this might have been because of a smaller harvest.
