Not Phillip GreganThe NZ Wine Exporters Forum was held in Christchurch last week. TV3's business program aired this interview with UK supermarket Tesco's product development manager Pierpaolo Petrassi. You can watch it here.
What I got from watching it is that NZ sauvignon blanc is not expected to hold the same position in the UK that it currently does forever and Tescos is already looking at other options to fill that eventual gap. Hmmm.
Tescos are surely a good barometer of the UK as a whole so my question would then be - with half of NZ planted in Sauvignon Blanc, what are we doing to address that issue ? Are we worried? Do we have a Plan B ?
