Stuart Smith: National’s viticulture spokesperson on sample sale member's bill pulled - The Mike Hosking Breakfast

Hopefully some good news is on the way for our viticulture industry.

A member’s bill was pulled out of the biscuit tin yesterday that would help streamline the process required for wineries to sell samples.

As it currently stands, small wineries have to secure a separate 'on-licence' to that of their 'off-licence' in order to sell wine samples, which requires added costs such as providing a food source.

The man behind the bill is National’s viticulture spokesperson Stuart Smith and he joined Mike Hosking.
