Otago has a mixed economy. Dunedin is home to manufacturing, publishing and technology-based industries. Rural economies have been reinvigorated in the 1990s and 2000s: in Clutha district, farms have been converted from sheep to more lucrative dairying. Vineyard planting and production remained modest until the middle of the 1990s when the [[New Zealand wine]] industry began to expand rapidly. The [[Central Otago wine region]] produces wine made from varieties such as the [[Pinot noir]], [[Chardonnay]], [[Sauvignon blanc]], [[Merlot]] and [[Riesling]] grapes. It has an increasing reputation as New Zealand's leading Pinot noir region.<ref>{{cite news |title=Central Otago wine success at home and abroad |date=11 November 2006 |url=http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/AK0611/S00117.htm |access-date=9 October 2007}}</ref>
