    This May New Zealand Wine has rolled out a battle cry campaign Pour Yourself a glass of New Zealand aimed at all of the white wine lovers of the world. You may be aware, there's no white wine emoji available on your phone! You can easily find the red wine emoji, but years of

    Here are a few New Zealand whites I highly recommend you get into your glass while you long for the right emoji to capture the moment in time.

    Sustainably-grown and vegan-friendly, te Pā's winemaker Sam Bennett holds the Didier Dagueneau wines as a benchmark for Sauvignon Blanc. This bottling is their take on that style, which is complex, age-worthy, textural, and sophisticated. They, of course, use the 320L cigar shaped barrel for the Oke

    Tinpot Hut 's owner and winemaker Fiona Turner began developing her Blind River "Home Block" vineyard in Marlborough's Awatere Valley with husband Hamish in 2005. Now fully mature, the Home Block's Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir and Riesling are the foundation of Tinpot Hut wines today. Select parcels of Blind River Grüner Veltliner and Hawkes Bay Syrah add further varietal diversity to the range.Originally part of a large sheep farming station, Fiona acknowledged the origins of her Home Block by naming her range of wines after the historic 'Tinpot Hut'; a Marlborough landmark frequented by local high country musterers. (For those of you who aren't familiar with what "misterers" are...Australian and New Zealand dialect for a person who musters or rounds up.)

    The Brajkovich family and Kumeu River Wines is a story that parallels the New Zealand wine industry. From the pioneering days to the establishment of the New Zealand wine industry to today, The Brajkovichs are focused on and internationally recognized for producing world class Chardonnay.

    This year owner and winemaker Michael Brajkovich MW was announced as the 2024 Institute Master of Wine, Winemakers' Winemaker.

    The fact remains—white wine is one of the most widely consumed alcoholic beverages across the world—and yet there is no emoji to convey the popular beverage.

    During May, while celebrating International Sauvignon Blanc Day (May 6th), International Pinot Gris Day (May 17th), or International Chardonnay Day (May 23rd), I emplore you to join the crusade and highlight that the WHITE WINE EMOJI is wanted and necessary on all digital keyboards!
