Top dollar for three decades’ worth of New Zealand’s premier red wine

The single most complete collection of Coleraine wine, dating back to its inception more than 30 years ago, has been auctioned off in Auckland for well over its valuation. The highest bidder was Air New Zealand, which nabbed the ‘vertical’ (one bottle from every year it was made) for $4800 at Webb’s Auction house on Tuesday evening. Webb’s fine wine expert Reece Warren said Air New Zealand planned to use the collection for promotional purposes as part of its Great Wines of New Zealand programme.
