The rest of the world can't stop snatching up New Zealand wine.
Wine exports hit $1.92 billion by the end of June this year, a new record high.
Nautilus Estate Winemaker Clive Jones told Mike Hosking for the first time in months they've had orders from every single person they've done business with.
"We've just been through the European summer with that sauvignon blanc drinking time.
"It's the engine of the New Zealand wine industry, and that's where the demand is."
Jones says when people have to stay home and order online, New Zealand becomes a very appealing option
He says consumers are enjoying our wine, reflecting on how lucky we are, and it's influencing their buying behaviour.
