Talk:Corbans

Suggestion to merge Corbans with PRNZ
The Corbans article as it stands is fairly meagre. However, there is potential for it to be a more extensive and interesting article, as Corbans has a rich history, in a way that PRNZ doesn't.--Limegreen 09:58, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Merger proposal
I propose that Montana Wines be merged into this article. They are largely the same content and Montana Wines is now a brand of this company. Mattlore (talk) 01:36, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
 * I suggest that the more sensible way to go about it is to expand Montana Wines, so that it's different from Pernod Ricard NZ. We could start with adding something about Peter Masfen. Montana Wines was one of the companies that turned New Zealand into a wine producing country.  Schwede 66  18:33, 12 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Further more, Montana doesn't even exist as a brand now, having been renamed to Brancott Estate. What a dog's breakfast this has become. Did PRNZ flog off Corbans to Lion Nathan at some point, or did I imagine that? This and other questions should probably be answered in an article somewhere. In fact Corbans Wines also has an interesting history, which now no longer involves the Corban family (who now run Ngatarawa Wines), but it has been merged into PRNZ, even though they seem to have been sold off to Lion.

Rework
This article needs major re-work:


 * 1) PRNZ is now Pernod Ricard Winemakers
 * 2) Pernod Ricard sold Corbans and Lindauer to the Lion/Indevin partnership in 2010
 * 3) Corbans Wines should not redirect here
 * 4) The history section of this article (which seems to be the history section from the old Corbans Wines article) should be moved, either to the Lion article, or a re-created Corbans Wines article (are they still notable enough?)

I'll leave this here, but if nobody cares, I'll just do this over the next month or so. Jon (talk) 08:58, 23 June 2018 (UTC)
