Thanks v. much for help. XX

How posh and how much wine are you thinking? We visited these guys while in NZ and they were lovely and friendly. It's essentially a man and his wife operating a field or two and selling out of a converted garage.

Just want a box of non-posh wine really but can't find any distributors

Ah I see that place does boxes... nothing mixed though, could probably do with a mixed box in case they hate it UMMMM

You can definitely choose bottles to make up a case.

I recommend the Pinot Gris

There are probably loads of other places that are cheaper TBH, but I am doing my bit in supporting a small friendly business (and really I just wish I could afford to get them to send me a box of wine).

erm well when I say box, I mean half-box of their bin-end offering

How far are they from Auckland

Miles and miles and miles, sorry.

If we keep bumping someone will come along with the NZ equivalent of Laithwaites or something.

you could try Glengarry's, they have stores all over the country (I think) and have offers on mixed cases. Have a look at this page

My dad uses these people - just had a quick look and they do gift boxes of wine which may be what you're looking for.
