About this word search
Marlborough Sauvignon blanc put New Zealand wine on the world map in the 1980s, and it is still the grape most people think of first. Central Otago and Martinborough are known for pinot noir, Hawke's Bay for merlot and syrah, and Waipara in North Canterbury for riesling and pinot. Most bottles here are sealed with a screw cap rather than a cork.
The grid is fourteen by fourteen and words run across, down and diagonally, never backwards. Sauvignon blanc fills a row with fourteen letters. Martinborough has thirteen and Central Otago twelve. Rosé is only four letters and loses its accent as ROSE. Hawke's Bay drops its apostrophe and becomes HAWKESBAY. Double letters help: LL and OO in Cellar door, and RR in Barrel and Terroir.
Bring it along to a tasting evening. Every time you find a region in the grid, pour a taste of a wine from there.
