Media Release: Monday 30 April 2012<\/span><\/p>\n

The NSW government is investing $40,000 in a new social media campaign called ‘Ask For It’, aimed at boosting the sales of locally produced wine.<\/p>\n

Deputy Premier Andrew Stoner helped launch the initiative at the new Food and Wine Garden at the Royal Sydney Easter Show.<\/p>\n

The campaign which is jointly funded by the NSW Wine Industry Association is designed to encourage consumers to be loyal to locally produced wines.<\/p>\n

NSW winemakers produce 38 per cent of the nation’s wine but account for only seven per cent of those on restaurant wine lists.<\/p>\n

Mr Stoner said consumers needed to ask for NSW wine. “If you go along to your local restaurants and they’ve got South Australian wines or they’ve got Victorian wines, just have a word to the proprietor or the sommelier and say I want NSW wines,” he said.<\/p>\n

Mr Stoner said the industry was already heading in the right direction, domestic sales within NSW increased from $52 million in 2008 to $86 million this year.<\/p>\n
