Mike Brown

Marlborough Grape Growers Cooperative, New Zealand

“Winning two golds for Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc in the IBWC helped drive people to the stand, and it has been of continuing benefit to their bulk sales of that varietal. Overall we saw the strong benefits in attending and we will definitely be back in November 2025!”
