NZ wines to gain duty-free access to major markets under TPP

New Zealand wines, the country’s sixth biggest export product, will gain duty-free access to seven new countries under the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade deal, Trade Minister Todd McClay said Thursday. New Zealand already sold almost 1 billion NZ dollars (681.6 million U.S. dollars) worth of wine into the 11 other TPP countries, McClay said in a published speech to exporters in the Marlborough region at the top of the South Island.
