    Average/Bad wines I have drunk recently - Red or White

    Thought it might be prudent to separate the wheat from the chaff, with a dedicated "Average to bad" thread. I had the Haselgrove Il Padrone 2020 Shiraz tonight. It had a distinct lack of fruit for such a young wine. My terminology is "dusty" which is dry without flavour. I can't see it...

    Triple points for Qantas Wine (October - November 2022)

    I suspect many in here go for the dozen cases with bonus points, but triple points are on offer for standard spend until 30 November 2022. For standard purchases that means 3 points per dollar, for Premium Wine members (those with paid and free subscriptions due to things like Points Club)...

    No Qantas premium wine memberships available at the moment?

    I'm buying wine to help me towards PC and was thinking I'd join Premium Membership to boost the points a little bit (I know membership is included in PC). Looking around the website today and there is no option to join at the moment. Called Qantas Wine and they confirmed it, with no news on when...

    QFF Points Club - $50 Wine Voucher

    I was added to the Points Club recently after earning a large number of QFF points from a credit card. I have received the lounge pass invitations and a $50 hotel voucher but there is no sign of the $50 wine voucher. I emailed to ask if they could look into this and the reply I got today was...

    Qantas Wine referral program - 5,000 bonus Qantas points each

    I had a chat with one of the Qantas Wine reps today, who informed me that they have a referral program. I wasn't aware of this so thought others may also be interested. Apparently, if you've never ordered from Qantas Wine before, spend at least $350 over the phone on your first order and quote...

    What's your drinking habit?

    I like drinking red wine but recently I felt I need to control myself a bit more. Usually I drink 1.5 bottles to 2 bottles a week but do you guys think it is too much? According to the Australian Guideline it is recommended for 10 standard drinks (150ml 14.5%al = 1.6 standard drink) per week...

    Sell wine or be Green?

    Some irony in Qantas and it’s Green Tier approach, as well as multitude of “green” changes, to then receive today a Qantas wine glossy physical catalogue in the post (complete with non personalised “letter” addressed “Hello”….). Also arrives wrapped in thin, non-household recycling compatible...

    Where's my Complimentary Qantas Wine Premium Membership?

    Hey Everyone, I recently became an Accor+Gold member having crossed the 30 night threshold earlier this week. It is my understanding that one of the perks of being Accor+Gold is that you get a free QF Wine Premium membership and voucher you can use towards a future purpose with them. Is that...

    'Hopefully Wine' Recommendation

    Hi All, I am after recommendations for a 'hopefully' red wine up to the limit of approx $300. (Getting a good deal on a more expensive wine is a bonus!!) So what is a hopefully wine? At a previous workplace I was working closely with a colleague and we had a habit of saying 'hopefully xyz...

    Looking to recall a particular wine in the domestic lounges

    I admit this is a rather strange request... I had a very short transit in SYD last week, and quickly poured a glass of white wine (I can't even remember the varietal). Maybe it was just super chilled, but it was very tasty indeed. I'm sure it's not a particularly expensive bottle, and it's...

    Qantas wine $50 points club voucher - No promo code Box!

    Hey all, I can see I have a $50 QF wine club voucher. I’ve been attempting to use it at part payment of a $282 case. I’ve tried entering the code into the ‘promo code’ box but to no avail, I’ve got right to the end of the process but I can’t find a box to enter the voucher code into. Any ideas?

    Wine Suitcase, recommendations

    Ok, no doubt this will be the wrong area to post. I'm looking for recommendations for a "wiine" suit case. Does anyone have any expereinces. I first came across this concept with an international board, where the partner of the chair travelled with a wine suit case for their local purchases...

    Qantas Wine and QFF points timing

    What are member's current experience with points posting timing after Qantas Wine purchases? I seem to remember the points arriving into the QFF account before the wine arrived at the door. However, for my most recent purchase the points are still yet to be seen, even though the order...
