The range
Everything on the site under fifty dollars — everyday wine, canned cocktails, mixers and the spirits that do not need to cost more.
This page builds itself from the live price of each bottle, so it is always current and never lists something that has since gone up. Spending less does not have to mean drinking worse: there is Australian-made gin, proper prosecco and bar-made cocktails in here.
84bottles, chosen one at a time.
Australia
Salted peanuts, which is all they need to be. We stock them so an order can arrive complete. A bottle of whisky and something to eat alongside it is a better delivery than a bottle on its own, and this is the simplest way to offer that.
0.0%0.0 std
$3.99
South Australia
We stock it because it is number three in ALM's wine-other segment with 4.40% share, up from fourth last year. Tawny has a loyal and badly under-served audience.
750 mL17.5%10.0 std
$8.99
South Eastern Australia
We stock it because it is number three in ALM's national still red segment with 1.38% share, up from fourth last year. A litre of drinkable shiraz at this price has a permanent audience.
1000 mL13.0%10.3 std
$10.99
South Eastern Australia
We stock it because it is number two in ALM's national moscato segment with 9.28% share, held from last year. Moscato buyers shop by brand and by format, and this is the litre answer.
1000 mL6.0%4.7 std
$11.99
Australia
We stock it because it is number one in ALM's wine-other segment with 7.65% share, held year on year. It sells on price and format, and the demand for it is consistent.
700 mL22.0%12.2 std
$13.99
Renmark, South Australia
We stock it because it is number two in ALM's other-spirits segment with 8.42% share, steady year on year. The small format reaches a customer the 700ml never does.
150 mL37.0%4.4 std
$15.99
Barossa Valley, South Australia
We stock it because a fortified wine is the one bottle on this shelf that is better a month after opening than a week after, and this is the least expensive way to find that out.
375 mL19.0%5.6 std
$26.99
Yarra Valley, Victoria
We stock it because it is the bridge between Australian sparkling and champagne. It carries a name customers already trust at a fraction of the champagne price, which makes it the easiest step up on the sparkling shelf.
750 mL12.5%7.4 std
$49.99
Tasmania
We stock it because Tasmanian sparkling is the category Australian wine is currently winning, and Jansz is the name customers already know. It anchors the shelf between Australian sparkling and champagne.
750 mL14.0%7.4 std
$48.99
Margaret River, Western Australia
We stock it because it puts serious Margaret River cabernet under fifty dollars. That is where most of a cabernet range should sit, and very little of it is this good.
750 mL13.5%8.0 std
$41.99
New South Wales
We stock it because it is number three in the state in its segment, and because it is the cheapest thing in this range that will still be good six months after it is opened - which is the whole point of a fortified wine and something no other bottle here can claim.
750 mL17.5%10.4 std
$8.99
South Australia
We stock it because it is number eight in the state in a segment nobody merchandises any more, and because the customer who buys it has usually been buying it for forty years and cannot find it.
750 mL17.5%10.4 std
$14.99
South Eastern Australia
We stock it because it is number six in the state and number two nationally. It takes the place of two flavoured wine spritzes that outrank it locally, which are a different drink wearing this category's name.
750 mL13.0%7.7 std
$10.99
South Eastern Australia
We stock it because it is number two in the state on 16.45%, and because it is the least expensive way into a style most people have only had at someone else's house.
750 mL13.0%7.7 std
$10.99
South Eastern Australia
We stock it because it holds 21.62% of the segment in New South Wales and is number one nationally, and because sparkling shiraz on an Australian Christmas table is a tradition no imported bottle can replace.
750 mL13.0%7.7 std
$15.99
South Eastern Australia
We stock it because it is number five in the state and it holds the entry price in a category where the entry price does most of the work.
750 mL7.5%4.4 std
$5.99
South Eastern Australia
We stock it because it is number four in the state and the cheapest bottle in this whole range, and because moscato is more often bought for a group than for a glass.
750 mL7.5%4.4 std
$7.99
King Valley, Victoria
We stock it because it is number two in the state, and because between the two of them Brown Brothers hold more than a quarter of everything sold in this category.
750 mL5.5%3.3 std
$15.99
King Valley, Victoria
We stock it because it holds 18.81% of the segment in New South Wales and is number one nationally, and because it is the lowest-alcohol wine on this shelf by a wide margin - roughly a third the strength of the reds.
750 mL5.5%3.3 std
$15.99
Pipers River, Tasmania
We stock it because it is number five in the state and the only serious sparkling rose in the list. It takes the place of a second, nearly identical Yellowglen bottling that outranks it - a shelf with two of the same wine on it and nothing above forty dollars is not a category.
750 mL12.5%7.4 std
$27.95
South Eastern Australia
We stock it because it is number four in the state and because Jacob's Creek is the name most often written on a shopping list where the list just says sparkling.
750 mL11.5%6.8 std
$11.49
South Eastern Australia
We stock it because it is number two in the state, and because the same wine is on shelves in eighty countries - a customer who has had it in a hotel in Singapore can find it here.
750 mL11.0%6.5 std
$15.99
Australia
We stock it because it holds 32.83% of the sparkling rose segment in New South Wales. One bottle in three sold in this category is this bottle, and no other line in this range comes close to that.
750 mL11.0%6.5 std
$9.99
South Eastern Australia
We stock it because it is number six in the state and it is the only line in this entire range whose argument is something other than price, grape or place - and because that argument is checkable, which is the test everything on this site has to pass.
750 mL12.0%7.1 std
$14.99
South Eastern Australia
We stock it because it is number five in the state and the cheapest rose here that is not a leftover, and because it holds the entry price point in a category where the entry price point does most of the volume.
750 mL11.5%6.8 std
$8.99
Marlborough · New Zealand
We stock it because it is number four in the state, and because rose is bought for a table of people more often than for one person - the price per bottle matters more here than it does anywhere else in this range.
750 mL12.5%7.4 std
$9.99
South Eastern Australia
We stock it because it is number three in the state and the highest-ranked Australian rose here, and because a category led by a New Zealand bottle and a French one needs a local answer.
750 mL11.5%6.8 std
$13.99
Rhone Valley · France
We stock it because it is number two in the state and because it is the least expensive wine on this shelf made by a family whose top wine sells for two hundred dollars - the same cellar, the everyday bottle.
750 mL12.5%7.4 std
$18.99
South Australia
We stock it because it holds 10.06% of the New South Wales rose segment on its own and is number one nationally, which makes it the single most dominant wine in this range after the champagne.
750 mL13.5%8.0 std
$15.95
Veneto · Italy
We stock it because it is number nine in the state and the only imported prosecco to rank, and because a customer comparing King Valley to the original should be able to do it in one order.
750 mL11.0%6.5 std
$19.99
King Valley, Victoria
We stock it because it is number seven in the state and number two nationally, and because between this and the De Bortoli bottle the King Valley owns the category outright - which is a better story than any imported prosecco can tell here.
750 mL11.5%6.8 std
$14.99
South Eastern Australia
We stock it because it is number six in the state and the cheapest bottle in this whole range, and because there is a real and regular demand for sparkling wine bought by the half dozen.
750 mL11.0%6.5 std
$7.99
New South Wales
We stock it because it is number five in the state and it is the prosecco that sits under the King Valley bottle, and prosecco is the only sparkling style whose sales are still growing.
750 mL11.5%6.8 std
$11.99
Yarra Valley, Victoria
We stock it because it is number four in the state at four times the price of the bottles around it, which tells you the demand is for the method and not only for bubbles, and because it is the bridge between the eight dollar shelf and the eighty dollar one.
750 mL12.5%7.4 std
$32.99
Australia
We stock it because it is number three in the state, and because Yellowglen between its white and pink bottlings is the most bought sparkling name in New South Wales by a distance.
750 mL11.0%6.5 std
$8.49
South Eastern Australia
We stock it because it is number two in the state, and because most bottles of sparkling wine sold in this country are opened for a reason rather than chosen for a flavour - that customer needs a price, not a lecture.
750 mL11.0%6.5 std
$8.99
King Valley, Victoria
We stock it because it holds 5.96% of the sparkling white segment in New South Wales - the largest share of any single wine in this entire range - and because it is number one nationally as well.
750 mL11.5%6.8 std
$16.99
Clare Valley, South Australia
We stock it because the New South Wales top ten contains no chardonnay whatsoever and the most planted white grape in Australia cannot be missing from an Australian wine shelf. This is a judgment call on top of the ranking, and the Taylors bottle is the one that also earns its place on quality.
750 mL13.0%7.7 std
$19.99
South Eastern Australia
We stock it because it is number twelve in the state and the second pinot grigio here, which is what a category with this much sauvignon blanc in it needs.
750 mL12.0%7.1 std
$11.99
South Eastern Australia
We stock it because it is number ten in the state, and because it is the cheapest way to show the difference between Australian and New Zealand sauvignon blanc, which is larger than most people expect.
750 mL12.2%7.2 std
$9.99
South Eastern Australia
We stock it because it is number eight in the state and the highest-ranked white here that is not sauvignon blanc, and because eight sauvignon blancs in a row is a list, not a range.
750 mL12.0%7.1 std
$8.99
Marlborough · New Zealand
We stock it because it is number seven in the state and number five nationally, and because it sits between the value bottles and Oyster Bay at a point on the shelf that would otherwise be empty.
750 mL12.5%7.4 std
$14.99
Marlborough · New Zealand
We stock it because it is number six in the state and because it is the one bottle in this group whose difference from the others is a fact about the ground rather than a style choice.
750 mL12.5%7.4 std
$12.99
Marlborough · New Zealand
We stock it because it is the fifth-best-selling sauvignon blanc in the state in the wholesale data we track, and it holds the entry rung of our white shelf. Every range needs a bottle at the bottom that people buy by the case, and this is ours.
750 mL12.5%7.4 std
$9.99
Marlborough · New Zealand
We stock it because it is number three in the state and number three nationally, and because the same house's rose holds a tenth of the rose segment on its own - customers arrive here having already decided on the brand.
750 mL12.5%7.4 std
$16.99
Marlborough · New Zealand
We stock it because it is number two in the state and sits several dollars under Oyster Bay, which makes it the bottle people buy by the case rather than the bottle.
750 mL12.5%7.4 std
$15.99
Marlborough · New Zealand
We stock it because it is the number one white in New South Wales and in the country on 3.15% of the segment - more than twice the next Australian white - and because no wine list can open without it.
750 mL13.0%7.7 std
$18.99
Victoria
We stock it because the raw top-seller list contains no pinot noir at all and a red shelf without one is missing the grape more people have moved to than any other in the last decade. This is a judgment call on top of the ranking, and it is the cheapest way to make it.
