no AmEx offer atm afaik but using the current code 2013 Xanadu Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon is $21.66 excluding delivery/cashback
Re delivery times, online purchase of KILIKANOON RIESLING late in the day on 30th May, rec'd country Vic y'day in the morning.
Cellarmasters did pretty good on this transaction/delivery, ie 6 days
I realise that this may not be available to all, but I have just purchased a 6 pack of the 2013 Spinifex Barossa Esprit Grenache blend (63/21/16% grenache, mataro and cinsaut) for close to $16 a bottle. Given it retails for close to $30 and that I have enjoyed it before I'd recommend it as a buy.
To get to $16 you will need the following:
1) 8% cashrewards
2) Current $25 off cellarmasters Wine Voucher (not hard to come by)
3) Current $120 spend for $20 cash back offer from AMEX.
Even if you used a 5% off WISH card from Woolies instead of the AMEX offer or cellarmasters wine voucher this still comes out as a good offer.

Not sure what vintages you are looking at.
But I had the Butchers Cart 14 in the VA lounge recently. I concluded it was classy mass produced Barossa Shiraz fit for Joe Public but also (me!) Wine Snob Jonny, when giving 3.5 stars: http://www.vivino.com/users/warren-dav/reviews/61261216.
I've also had the Garden of Eden 15 in the VA Lounge recently. I concluded it was another easy drinking St Hallets red when giving 3 stars: http://www.vivino.com/users/warren-dav/reviews/61788053.
I think they are both decent wines for the prices you are looking at. If I had to choose - that would be easy:
the Butchers Cart.
Hope that helps. Cheers, Wozza
Doh. CM called me today and despite my previous swearing off telephone sales talked me into a case of 14 mixed Shiraz for around $240. Got rid of a measly $25 voucher (about to expire) and with free delivery cam in at $214. Probably not fantastic value but I get to try a few new wines.
This is definitely the last telephone sale. I missed out on CR of-course too.

Just out of idle curiosity which 14 pack was that?...
TBH, I am not sure. Yeah I now I should be more aware. Telemarketer said it "was the last case left!"
Contains Teusner, Heirloom, Parkers, etc. Top of the range was Teusner and another at about $40. They diminished from there. Not fabulous value I know but my mind is a fog from trading this past week. I am still cranky I let another CR cashback slip through my fingers.
I make it about $18.20 a bottle with a current WISH (5.55% + 8% cashrewards + $25 cellarmasters voucher).
If I didn't have ridiculous quantities of wine, I'd buy at that price.
In Perth I have way too much wine. In Sydney we have way too much champagne.
It is hard to get one's life into balance.
