Or are you always looking for recommendations of decent drops that can be found on the shelves of Aussie bottle shops? Start by browsing these awesome Australian wine blogs!
The Cheeky Vino
Brisbane-based blogger Ella of The Cheeky Vino is dedicated to making learning about wine fun and easy, helping you navigate bottle shops and restaurant wine lists with more confidence. She posts wine reviews with clear descriptions and pairing suggestions; explains wine terms in simple English; and covers heaps of practical topics like how to tell if a wine is good value and how to host a blind tasting. Follow her on Instagram for fun visual wine content too.
Travelling Corkscrew
Casey Bryan of Travelling Corkscrew has been blogging about all things wine since 2012. With a background in the wine industry (selling fine wines in Dubai, where she earned her WSET level 3 qualification), she now runs a search marketing business and has published hundreds of posts on the Travelling Corkscrew site covering everything from alcohol-free wines that actually taste good to handy gadgets for preserving your open bottles, along with winery reviews, gift guides and more. Her light, humorous and honest approach makes learning about wine fun. She’s lived in Perth’s Swan Valley, Tasmania, and now Victoria’s Bellarine Peninsula, meaning there’s plenty of coverage of Aussie wine regions on her site.
Food Wine Travel
Covering three topics that just seem to belong together, Food Wine Travel is an ode to life’s indulgences by travel writers Christine Salins and Maurie O’Connor. Their extensive archives include guides and reviews for wines, wineries and wine regions, all written in a friendly and approachable style. There’s a focus on Australian wines, but they’ve travelled to dozens of countries and their site is sure to get you dreaming of your next overseas trip too.
Australian Wine Review
If you’re looking for wine recommendations, the Australian Wine Review website is a great source. Written by professional wine judge and journalist Andrew Graham, it features multiple reviews each week of all kinds of wines – ranging from $8.99 Aldi bottles to much higher-end drops. He maintains an editorial policy of brutal honesty so you know you’re getting an expert’s genuine opinion. And his brief and easy-to-understand reviews give you a clear idea of whether the bottle is worth buying.
