SARAH JESSICA PARKER HAS<br />
PARTNERED WITH INVIVO WINES<br />
TO PRODUCE THIS SAUVIGNON<br />
LABEL THAT IS EXTREMELY POPU-<br />
LAR IN THE UNITED STATES<br />
What part do you play in this joint-venture?<br />
I took part in every stage of winemaking for this Sauvignon blanc produced in Te Kauwhata,<br />
a winery that is over 120 years old. That goes from the name, Invivo X, SJP, to the label design<br />
through winemaking and blending of the wine which is a resounding success. You may know<br />
this already, but our New Zealand Sauvignon blanc is currently the most popular wine with<br />
Americans! It’s also among those that have won the most awards!<br />
So now you know everything there is to know about wines produced on the other side of<br />
the world by Kiwi winegrowers…<br />
I didn’t used to know as much as I do now. I still have so much to learn about this exciting<br />
industry! I’m still at the stage where I’m all ears and I ‘lap up’ every word that the people who<br />
managed to turn this drink into a unique flavour experience say!<br />
You once said to me that drinking wine could have some health benefits…<br />
Since I read that drinking wine helps digestion – mainly due to the occurrence of certain<br />
acids – I have felt so much better. Apparently, wine can even protect you against certain<br />
vascular diseases. Basically, I don’t know how much is fact and how much is fiction, but it<br />
certainly works great for me!<br />
