Wine New Zealand 2006
Sunday 8th -Tuesday 10th October- ASB Showgrounds, Greenlane, Auckland
 Wine New Zealand is organised by dmg world media in association with New Zealand Winegrowers and the New Zealand Restaurant Association. Wine New Zealand is New Zealand's premier wine trade show and brings together the wine industry and its key customers in greater numbers than any other wine trade event.  In 2005, 150 wineries showed their wines, sampling over 1,500 wines enjoyed by 2,445 members of the wine trade and wine media.  In 2006 this show moves to Hall 1 of the ASB Showgrounds, to allow more wineries to participate and to include free seminars. Wine New Zealand provides the ability for trade to sample the greatest possible selection of New Zealand wines and discuss them in depth with their winemakers. It has also become an important networking event in the industry calendar.
