April 2024

The April 2024 edition of Winepress looks at:

Vintage 2024

WinePro
The inaugural WinePro New Zealand, to be held in Blenheim in June, is not just an exhibition, says organisers. “Attendees will have the opportunity to explore cutting-edge equipment, discover top-tier suppliers and engage with industry experts.”
