    Subscriptions: Lies, lies, and more lies from Qantas Wine

    I'm a bit miffed. Back in September, I cancelled my Qantas Wine Subscriptions. So it was odd, a few weeks later, when I received emails from them confirming what would be included in the next subscription coming in November. Phoned up. And it was all confirmed that my subscriptions had been...

    ...how many bottles of wine and beers to order? We'd probably leave two bottles (one red, one white) on the table and a few beers to begin with then top things up from there as required. Let's say 80 people in total. What do they say is an approximate guesstimate per person – assuming that...

    A quick road trip (or following the bakery, food and wine trail!)

    Inspired somewhat by @Justinf and his road trip I decided do a belated report on little road trip we did a few months back. Our trip was nothing of the magnitude undertaken by @Justinf, only covering about 450 klms over two days. The trip was based around re visiting places I hadn't been to for...

    Reselling wine

    I purchased 6 x Curtis Martins Vineyard Limited Series Shiraz 2020 from QF wine store last week because I needed 30k points fast, but don't really want to hang on to $600 worth of wine. I was thinking I'd try to sell it at a discount. Has anyone done this before? Are there any websites that...

    Whats the best bang for $ whiskey?

    Whats the best bang for $ whiskey thar you've tried or have heard of? I am of the belief that, there is no way a $2000 whiskey is 20 times better than a $100 whiskey, especially since taste is subjective. And many of the $1k, $5k, $10k, $100k are pricey due to rarity, brand, history, demand...

    1er Grand Vin

    I have a 1er Grand Vin Pichon-Longueville 12 Biles 1877 leather wine holder/case that I found at my grandparents house. I can't find anything about them online. From the peeling I would say it's synthetic, maybe a replica or fake? Any info or links would be great

    Could Qantas wine offer duty free?

    Would there be a case for Qantas Wine to enhance their footprint with duty free click and collect onboard international flights - and would you use such a service?? Duty free options are pretty much monopolised at the airport duty free stores, limiting choice and competition - I think it could...
