Good wine is cheap in NZ. Production is booming. A supermarket chain had a special on Montana's Lindauer Special Reserve Brut Riche a couple of days ago, NZ$10 = US$8 It's really good stuff. Same with the Lindauer Sec. It sells fast as, unfortunately, word of mouth has spread. My neighbour designed the Lindauer production system for Montana a decade or so ago. New Zealand's wine production: Maybe there is a global shortage. Not in NZ. <Global wine shortage looms, says report Published October 30, 2013 FoxNews.com Here’s a sobering thought for you. A global wine shortage may be around the corner. According to a report released this week by Morgan Stanley Research, there was a global undersupply of about 300 million cases of wine in 2012, the largest deficit recorded in almost 50 years. > Mqurice

Peak coconut? Coconut Crisis Looms as Postwar Palm Trees Age: Southeast Asia bloomberg.com By Supunnabul Suwannakij - Nov 3, 2013 10:49 PM GMT-0900 Asia’s coconut palms, which mark the landscape from the Philippines to India, face a crisis as aging groves become less productive, with harvests that are a source of food and income for millions being outstripped by demand. The trees, many of which were planted about 50 to 60 years ago, no longer yield enough to meet rising demand, according to the Rome-based Food & Agriculture Organization. There’s an urgent need for replanting, said Hiroyuki Konuma, regional representative for Asia and the Pacific at the UN agency, which is coordinating a response to the challenge. While world consumption of coconut products is growing more than 10 percent a year, production is increasing by only 2 percent, it said.
