Dunedin to Host World Launch of the Winedub
The
world’s only mobile VW wine tasting experience
After almost two years planning and meticulous
restoration a world-first novel mobile wine tasting
experience is being launched in Dunedin this week.
The Winedub will have its first outings at the
International Food Design Conference in Dunedin from
Wednesday 29 June until Friday 1 July, and Rick is looking
forward to sharing the experience.
Developed by Rick
Nelson, owner of The Winery, Queenstown’s premiere wine
store; the Winedub is an original 1958 split screen VW
single cab pickup that has been fully restored over 15
months. However, this is no ordinary restoration…
The Winedub is kitted out to host tastings of up to 46
wines at events. Where a VW would usually have room for
cargo, the Winedub’s precious cargo is the finest, quality
New Zealand wine. Each of the 46 wines for tasting uses the
famous Enomatic wine serving technology that preserves wine
flavour ensuring every taste is as fresh as the first.

Any number of movie examples come to mind, beginning with Rudolf Valentino’s role (over a century ago) as the romantic Arab hero in The Sheik... More
