For a long time, New Zealand wine exports have been dominated by Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir with small quantities of Chardonnay and Bordeaux blends plus more.

Oven, Brown, good working order. Element supports x 2 need replacing but elements work perfectly well. Can see tray beneath two front elements has holes but I've simply had the entire tray lined with tin-foil for easy cleaning. Warming drawer beneath oven.
Brand is as per pix - I have no specs. Standard size - W= 600mm x D640mm xH940mm.
Free. Pickup from Hillcrest, North Shore.
Trying not to do the easiest thing which is send it to landfill.
Will check back on My Neighbourly for any interest.
No interest - it'll go to the recycle tip for parts. by Fri 18th Feb.
