Kiwi Wines according to James May

I saw this quote in the New Zealand paper The Dominion-Post
James May of "Top Gear" fame has developed over the years into somewhat of a wine connoisseur and fronted several wine documentaries for the BBC. While visiting the "land of the long white cloud" (Aotearoa) Mr May gave this analogy of the country's wines...

"It's a bit like the Porsche 911, Ferraris might be a bit more exciting, Maserati are a bit more exotic but if you like the sensation of driving a well engineered, very well set up car and you actually want to depend on it and use it you end up with a Porsche 911." 

the rest of the article can be read ....here

Oh and if anyone is offering... I wouldn't mind a 911 Porsche or a bottle of good Kiwi wine.
