See you there with a glass of Prim/Zin.
A Wine Bargain - but act soon
Wine selectors frequently feature alternative dozens. These typically contain six different reds and six different whites (or you can have all red or all whites). These wines are all different alternative varieties from different producers and different regions. They made by real winemakers, not just dressed up cleanskins. Average price per bottle is well under RRP. One of the best ways to broaden your experience of alternative varieties.
But the latest offer goes even further…
Start with the usual discounted price
Then add two more bottles as a bonus - 14 to the dozen
And until Sunday night May 18 take another 20% off.
That leaves average price at just $12 per bottle, plus very reasonable freight.
So follow this link1 for more details. Scroll down to see the Aussie Alternatives offers - red white and mixed dozens boxes of 14.
