- The New Zealand Wine Business with John Macpherson
Overview
Chris Scott sits down with John MacPherson (Mac) of Advantage Wine, one of NZ's most respected independent online retailers, for an honest conversation about the business behind the bottle. With 25 years in the game, Mac has seen it all: the rise of supermarket dominance, the shrinking of independent retailers, and the Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc oversupply crisis sending shockwaves through the industry.
But it's not all doom and gloom. Hawke's Bay reds are earning global respect, sparkling wine is having its moment, and passionate boutique producers are pushing NZ quality to extraordinary new heights. If you love wine, or just love a good honest conversation about business, pull up a glass and enjoy. Don't forget to like and subscribe for more!
