Shattering the glass

I found this interesting image of a bullet shattering a wine bottle. I love that the photographer included the cork which flying off the top. Great photo!

Regional Heros

I have recently discovered this great website produced by the Australian Wine and Brandy corporation to help people better understand wines.


Visit Regional Heros to see information on Tasting Charts, comparing wines and guides to tasting wines. Its a great website which is fun to use - try the Comparing wines sections, as the flavour of the wines float around the page you need to identify which fits the description and catch them if you can.

Vintage price list

Hindsight is one of those things like a phone box that allows time travel. If only you could know the value of something 10 years on. On a trip to Hong Kong last year Lisa and I meet with our distributor Vivacity Enterprises at Oi Man Estate. Bun Lai and Simon have a great bottle shop in the complex which sells wines from all over the world (including our wines). During our visit I admired an old price list Bun Lai had, the beautiful ads, the lovely wines & of course the prices. Veuve Clicquot for $30.00 per bottle amazing.


I'm sure 30 or 40 years ago these wines would have seemed expensive but when you compare them to prices now, some of the wines listed sell for $250 + per bottle.

How beautiful is the lion in the Pmmery ad.
