Methode moari: New Zealand sparkling wineTom Stevenson heads for the South Seas to assess the current and potential quality of New Zealand sparkling wine.I touched down in Queenstown, Otago, where my overland trek north would begin, and immediately headed for Pog Mahone's Irish Pub. Although Auckland-brewed Guinness might not be as good as London-brewed and London-brewed Guinness isn't a patch on Dublin-brewed, a few pints of the black stuff, wherever it may have been made, is a good antidote against any intensive period of fizz tasting. Why? Because it is the very antithesis of sparkling wine: black not white, with virtually no acidity and a soft, creamy mousse that coats rather than attacks the mouth.
