OUR WINES.
Press Association. —By Telegraph, ciation —Copyright. SYDNEY, May 22. A representative gathering of wine merchants met Mr Blunow, a Government expert, at the New Zealand Government's Bureau, when test samples of the 1909-10 vintage of light wines produced at the Government experimental vineyard at Waerenga were shown. Mr AY. R. Blow, New Zealand representative of the Tourist Department in Sydney, in introducing Mr Blunow, said that he looked forward to the time when reciprocity between Australia and New Zealand would be an accomplished fact, and that wine would be amongst the products covered. Experts expressed the opinion that the wines were of good body, but capable of improvements as regards blending and finish. New Zealand should be an ideal champagne country, and trade could be made successful by careful handling, and careful selection of districts and wines. Interesting test samples from other districts were also shown.
