New Zealand produces so many decent wines and you cannot single out a wine to be New Zealand’s most popular wine.

When choosing a wine you should try wines from different wine regions of New Zealand and see which wine suits your palate.

Do not try to buy the most expensive or the cheapest wine, you will find a large number of decent wines in the price range of $15 to $30.

If you are totally new to New Zealand’s wines, we recommend browsing liquormart.co.nz  and sort the wines by best selling and choose any of the top-selling wines based on your budget. 

Here are some of our favorite wines:
