The New Zealand wine industry has continued its turnaround in 2013, posting a record grape harvest and improved profitably for wineries.
The findings come from the annual financial benchmarking survey released today by Deloitte and New Zealand Winegrowers.
2013 saw a record harvest of 345,000 tonnes of grapes, up significantly from the low harvest last year.
New Zealand winegrowers chief executive Phillip Gregan said the survey pointed to signs of an industry turnaround.
"There's a level of optimism that was not present three to four years ago," Gregan said.
