Key New Zealand wine sites:
www.bobcampbell.co.nz  :  the best wine education programme in New Zealand;  world-wide links to wine.
www.nzwine.com  :  site of the New Zealand wine industry,  New Zealand WineGrowers,  combining the former Wine Institute of New Zealand and the New Zealand Grape Growers Council.  Contact details and/or links for all 650 + wineries,  statistics,  data.
www.raymondchanwinereviews.co.nz  :  the most complete free-access wine review site in New Zealand,  by industry senior wine-judge the late Raymond Chan.  Until his death,  the site amazed for being so up-to-date,  coupled with the work throughput.  It will remain a necessary reference for some years.
