Our exports have failed, and a great oversupply swamps our wineries. The difference this time is that for the first time ever 50% of the problem is with premium wine. There has never previously been a surplus of premium wine. For example over the last decade the Barossa Valley has increased plantings by 100%.
All well and good but have you found a cheap supply of good Barossa Shiraz or Cabernet at your local shop? The giant retailers Endeavour Group (ex Woolworths) and Coles are busy protecting margins, not the interests of customers. This Glug Batch 14G Barossa Cabernet is the best of many we have been offered.
You can purchase with confidence – let us do the worrying. The alcohol at 14.4% is about right. Glug likes Barossa Cabernet at around 14.5%.
