Price Increase Notification – 1st November 2022

What a year (or two) it has been! 

Pacific Rim Oenology has been working throughout to manage and mitigate the impact of the current inflationary environment we find ourselves in. 

There have been unprecedented cost increases in raw materials due to both international and domestic freight, as well as increased global demand for products. Added to this the impact of soaring prices in fuel, courier rates, supply and consumables costs, necessary wage increases, and the challenges of staffing shortages NZ suppliers are under ever-increasing pressures.  

Over the last year, we have had 2-3 rounds of price increases from services and product providers and find the situation, regrettably, no longer sustainable. 

The number of price increases and the size of these have left us with no option but to pass some of these costs on. This increase reflects rising costs that can no longer be absorbed by Pacific Rim Oenology.

As we seek to maintain our high level of customer service and product integrity,  we now find it necessary to implement a price increase of 7% on all analyses. Some products have had larger increases due to manufacturing costs in the EU.  

Any quotes provided for Harvest orders will remain unchanged. WECs analysis will remain at $130 until March 2023 when it will be reviewed. 

We appreciate your business and your continued support and understand the impact these increases will have.  

Kind Regards 

Rebecca Allen
Director
