@gt12 NZ Sav Blanc are expensive and often overly passionfruity, if you like that sort of thing.
FIFY
I actually agree with you if you are in NZ.
Here in Japan, the better NZ Savs are in the Sancerre price range, and up with Piedmont Arneis and other very fun (and easier to pair) wines.
The lower NZ Savs are often priced alongside Bordeaux Sav/Semillon blends, and you can find really amazing examples of them which just leave the NZ ones behind at that price point.
For example, I drink a bit of this as we pay the same for it as a Sileni Sav Blanc. It's from Chateau Beychevelle and they made an OK red too.
This link suggests that it costs about double in OZ compared to what we pay.

I never realised you had Scottish heritage too
-
@MN5 you are the one that needs his Scottish heritage checked then bro, you know my name in RL, my great great grandparents made Scotch, a brand that is still about (although no longer 'family' owned)
As to the beer, Craft beers are stupidly over priced, not about being tight, I prefer to buy a variety of them to try different ones, cos some are not worth the money you have ot pay.

WTF? You've got some weird Māori where you're from.
Speaking of Māori food - kina is disgusting. I'm pretty sure half the people who eat it do so for cultural reasons rather than taste reasons.

Loaf of white bread smeared in butter with every meal I definitely get - not so much sandwhich-ising everything.

Kina is nice but it gives me the worst crook guts imaginable. You know it’s bad when you make yourself sick with the stench

When I was a kid I had to eat it as I'd go out with my Dad to get in, but I'd always avoid it on the marae. Now, I'm very vocal in my keep that shit away from me. Bah, this discussion has made me feel like marae steam pudding.

I had a salt'n'vinegar chip sandwich for lunch yesterday
Pie sambos are also fine if its a cheap mince pie and you're just stretching it further.
Warm crusty white loaves with a beef bourg or stew is magic
