As we celebrate a century of new thinking we reflect on many firsts and an ongoing series of timeless machines.
Audi in 2009, for the third consecutive year has been the top selling luxury vehicle brand in the New Zealand Market. This year we are celebrating 30 years of Audi’s quattro, all-wheel drive.

The essence of a good wine glass is simplicity! Good balance and a sturdy base are essential. A clear, thin crystal glass is a necessity to display the sparkle of the wine itself. A large tapered shape is unanimously acknowledged as providing the best conditions for wine to be swirled around and allowed to breathe, revealing the bouquet. Zerrutti Ultimo is the official glass of Pinot Noir 2010, designed by the wine trade for the wine trade. Zerrutti Ultimo is a universal tasting glass for white, red, dessert and fortified wines. The Zerrutti 11% crystal glasses and decanters made in Italy have been especially chosen to provide beautiful, elegant stemware that is highly functional. The quality is superb and Zerrutti will enhance the pleasure of drinking and serving wine.

Like our water, the thinking behind it is pure and simple. First we wanted to source one of the world's purest waters. It was a mystery to us why much of the bottled water in New Zealand was being shipped in from Europe. In contrast, Antipodes is sourced from one of the least populated countries on Earth and in a place renowned for pure water. Next we wanted to create the perfect sparkling water to compliment well-crafted food and wine. Finally we wanted it to look good. We believe the heroes of the table should be the wine and food, not the water bottle. Visit our website.
