Committee Musings

The Club is an Incorporated Society, and the Act that governs such bodies is currently being reviewed there are several amendments proposed. It is not expected that these changes will impact the Club’s Constitution or operation much, but the outcome will be known only once the details have been finalised. If there is a need for Resolutions to effect changes to the Constitution, they will be put to members in the usual way. Rest assured, the Committee is keeping a close watch on developments and will keep Members informed.

In the News – Act big step for wine industry – April 2015

Implementation of Act is a big step forward for the New Zealand wine industry

New Zealand Winegrowers warmly welcomes the announcement that Government will implement the Geographical Indications Registration Act. Geographical indications identify wines as originating in a region or locality says Philip Gregan, CEO, New Zealand Winegrowers. The Act will set up a registration system for wine geographical indications, similar to the trademark registration system.

“It will equip the wine industry with the tools to protect its premium brand from misappropriation or misuse, as well as help secure market access in some regions. It’s a big step forward for the industry” said Mr Gregan.
Wine exports stand at $1.37 billion to the year January 2015, up 9%, propelling wine to New Zealand’s 6th biggest export good.
