2005 - Tuesday, 4 January 2005 Welcome to the first edition of “Soaked”, our
weekly update (or blog) on matters vinous. The aim will be to keep you up to date with the world

Soaked takes a visit to the recent Taste of New Zealand wine fairs. It is boom times for the New
Zealand wine industry that has undergone an even more dramatic expansion than the Australian wine
industry over the past five years. This years tasting saw more than 70 wineries exhibiting their
wares, held over two days, the consistency and quality of the wines on tasting was very impressive.
