Where to Buy Wine Online in Australia

To be honest, I do buy wine online more and more these days. There’s something lovely about sitting on the couch in my pyjamas and glass of red wine in hand browsing through the online wine shops and then having someone else carry the wine to me!

Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love going to cellar doors but sometimes doing that at 10pm in my pyjamas is just a tad weird. Plus with the pandemic, well online ordering is sometimes the best way to do it.

So I have put a list together places you can buy wine online below and compared them based on their selection, pricing, features and my experiences on the sites.

Please note: I am an affiliate partner for some of the websites below. Which means I may receive a small amount of commission if you click through to their websites and purchase.

I have made many of the suggested recipes and even for a novice in the kitchen like me, they are simple yet super tasty. I cannot recommend Tom, Banjo and the team at Good Pair Days highly enough!

Summary: I have only recently tried out Naked Wines, and I do like the idea of having access to wines which you can’t find on the shelves at your bottle-o. The whole crowd-funded idea is great and I’m looking forward to becoming part of the club (I’m currently on the waiting list, due to supply and demand they can only have a certain amount of people in the club, read more here). I also like having the app at my fingertips so I can see what people are saying about the wines, give my two cents and I’ve also had winemakers respond to my comments which is pretty cool.
