The latest Statistics New Zealand data shows New Zealand wine exports have exceeded $1.3 billion for the first time.
"The very robust export performance during the past 12 months reflects the continued demand in key markets and increased availability of the wine from the 2013 vintage," New Zealand Winegrowers chief executive officer Philip Gregan said.
"We expect further strong growth in the year ahead when the 2014 vintage wines are released."
Wine exports are at $1.32 billion up 9.2 per cent for the year ending 31 March 2014.
Wine is currently New Zealand's eighth biggest goods export and wine exports have increased by $1 billion in the past 10 years.
