Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main types of wine?

The main types of wine are red, white, rose, sparkling and fortified. Red is made with grape skins left in, white usually without, and rose with brief skin contact. Sparkling wine has bubbles from a second fermentation, and fortified wines like port have added spirit.

How do I choose a wine?

Start with the style you enjoy, then match it to food. Crisp whites like Sauvignon Blanc suit seafood and salads, Pinot Noir works with salmon and duck, and Shiraz suits red meat. If you are unsure, pick a well-known grape from a region famous for it.

What wine is New Zealand known for?

New Zealand is famous for Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, with its zesty, tropical and herbaceous flavours. Central Otago and Martinborough Pinot Noir, Hawke's Bay Syrah and Chardonnay, and aromatic whites like Pinot Gris and Riesling are also highly regarded around the world.

How should I store wine at home?

Store wine somewhere cool, dark and steady, ideally 12 to 15C, away from sunlight and heat. Lay cork-sealed bottles on their side so the cork stays moist. Screwcap bottles, common in NZ, can stand upright. Most everyday wines are made to drink within a few years.
