The csardas (which can also be spelt czardas) is a dance for couples, and developed from a 19th century Hungarian dance, the magyar kor. One of the more well known adaptations of this dance is included in Johan Strauss the Second's operetta, "Die Fledermaus".

Marlborough, located on the northern tip of the South Island, is famous for its Sauvignon blanc. Hawkes Bay, located on the east coast of the North Island, is best known for its Cabernets.
