:unsure:I have heard on the 'Grapevine'that the wine in Australia is more expensive than Asda here ie ( 3 for £10) oh my god tell me this isnt true? Please enlighten(a little old wine drinker me , i do believe was a song..........way before my time i hasten to add lol).

Can any one help,:huh:with prices etc?

[Guest LOOBYLOO]

Hi

Wine prices vary from very cheap to very expensive. You can get cleanskins (unlabelled) for $3 a bottle. You can also buy boxes and they cost $13-$20 for 4 litres but very often on special offer. You can stop worrying now! Dan Murphy's is a great place to buy - lots of choice and prices to suit all budgets.

[Guest cherryn]

Phew, i was getting worried ,thanks for the advice

[Guest Deborah5]

yes, all this sunshine makes you feel like you are permanently on holiday - even more reason to feel like drinking lovely cold wine....

[Guest cherryn]

omg, just want me to get there all the quicker lol....

Dan Murphy's is a godsend!

 

You can buy Lindemans Sauv Blanc there for $6 so much cheaper than the UK - as said prices vary. For 2 litre winebox of Sauv blanc you can get for $11. There is also a huge selection in there hard to decide on what you want

 

Being a huge champers fan - I have discovered amazing sparkling wines from $5 - one is a clean skin. Another is called Syn - more expensive but its just bliss and from local surf club its $3 a glass

 

Also the vineyards are a great place to visit - more expensive but for a treat its worth it.

Can also recommend this place: http://www.getwinesdirect.com/ - especially when they do a "buy one case get another free offer" which means the wines work out at less than $5 a bottle - have had some really nice wines from them too! (hic)

The quick answer to the OP, yes a lot of local Aussie wine is cheaper in UK than here. But don't let that worry you.

 

'Champagne' is not a drink for special occasions either, its drunk like 'normal' wine, I am well aware it's not called champagne here but you know the stuff I mean.

 

I am lucky enough to have worked for 2 wine company's and therfore haven't bought any for years. Hic.....

 

Also Supermarkets don't sell alcohol either. They (often) have shops next door, but it's not like UK in the sense you buy your wine with your milk.

[HEAPS GOOD !!!]

Cleanskins in Dan Murphys right now $2 a bottle of Chardonnay....

[Guest caoimhe]

You always get a lot of 'specials'....at the minute one of the major stores is offering 30% off if you buy 6 bottles...just buy 6 of whats already reduced and get 30% off...my prob is tend to drink more if its in the house:goofy:

[Guest angiestaff]

please do not worry!!!! lol....the wine here is soooooo nice and great value...esp' the clearskins from dan murphys. i have found wines such as yellow label wolf blass and penfolds is more expensive here than i've purchased it for in the uk but there are far nicer wines to be trying here!! ...don't limit yourself to the familiar brands lol

 

and i'm the same...if it's in the house then it needs to be drunk!

I found the Red Clear skin wine to be the nicest wine ever, even nicer price to. Hope they get the snappy gum on offer when I`m there aswell:)

"Cock & Bull" at Dan Murphy's.

Different varieties - from Shiraz,unwooded Chardonnay,Merlot and a few more.

 

Buy by the carton and it's under $5 a bottle - for a very good wine.!

 

:notworthy:

[Guest WoodMartin]

Not sure what it may say about me and my drinking habits... but I am very happy with casks of 4 litres for $9.99.... If I fancy splashing out there are plenty of choices - I usually find something on special for $10 a bottle which I like!

something else you might want to consider:

 

- there are really well run clubs in Adelaide for people who like making their own wine. You probably won't want to join one, (-and you may not like what they make, themselves).

 

However: once or twice a year they will sellect some really excellent professionally made wines that are not commercially available. The club organises a private bottling and will sell direct to you for less than half you could buy a comparable bottle anywhere.
