NEW ZEALAND WINE.
WELLINGTON, October 1. The Agricultural Department have sent 100,000 vine slips to settlers in various parts of the colony. Signor Bragato, Government viticulturisfc, states that New Zealand is likely to make a name for itself for the quality of its wines. The climate in most parts of the colony is well suited for grape culture, and better wine can be made here than in Australia. A great many new vineyards are bein<» planted, and he believes in five or six years' time we shall be able to sell table wine at 2s 6d per gallon and make a good profit. Several settlers in the North Island are, he says, making £3OO per acre per year from their vineyards. Samples of New Zealand wines are to be exhibited bv the Agricultural Department at the Auckland A. and P. show, so that quality may be compared with that of the imported article.
