Fine wine from New Zealand - New Zealand lies at a latitude of between 36 and 45 degrees in the Southern Hemisphere, making it the southernmost wine-growing country in the world. New Zealand has 10 major wine-growing regions spread across the North and South islands: together, these total 1000 miles (1609km) in length, and each region has their own unique growing conditions that influence the wide range of wine styles produced. These range from fruit-forward wines, best drunk young, to bold and characterful reds grown in the warmer parts of the country.
