This paper discusses the dynamic simulation model of the New Zealand wine industry which is being developed at Victoria University to examine the impact of environmental and policy changes on the short and long term behavior of the industry. It is highly aggregated model which includes sectors for: planting and harvesting of grapes; production, exports and imports of wine; stock movements and financial flows. The model provides a policy making framework for the analysis of changes in grape yields, climatic conditions, excise duty on domestic consumptions, minimum grower returns, exchange rate movement and international competitiveness.
