The Air New Zealand Wine Awards is the premier wine competition in New Zealand recognising excellence in winemaking. In October and November 2017, approximately 1,300+ wines were judged by a team of local and international judges to identify medal and trophy winners for each of the varietal categories. We are proud to offer you both Gold Medal award winners and trophy winning wines – check out below the award-winners you can get delivered to your door, worldwide.

The Fine Wines of New Zealand programme celebrates and showcases the finest wines New Zealand has to offer. It is curated annually by six of New Zealand’s leading wine experts — Masters of Wine Alastair Maling, Michael Brajkovich, Sam Harrop, Simon Nash and Steve Smith along with Master Sommelier Cameron Douglas. One of the key criteria is consistency, with a wine having had to have been produced to an exceptional standard for a minimum of five consecutive years. Air New Zealand is a patron of the Fine Wines of New Zealand and provides promotional support to the wineries onboard and via its marketing channels. We have made a selection of the Fine Wines available for you to purchase, by using your Airpoints Dollars™ or by credit card, and have them delivered to your door, worldwide.

New Zealand's temperate maritime climate produces highly distinctive wine styles, and we are proud to champion the best of the best. Featured here are award winners from other wine shows and competitions, or wines with endorsements from well-regarded wine reviewers.
