Qantas Wine latest offering

[Tooner]

Shall I say, "I told you so"?

Best you don't......

 

[boomy]

No joy with the Amex cashback. Seems to come up as "Epiqure" on the statements now

Doesn't hurt to try. With QF IT anything is possible

Yep it was worth a try. No loss anyway, would have purchased regardless. It is the first time I've noticed Epiqure not bill as Qantas Freq Flyer (which was what the pre-auth actually said)

Primo Estate JOSEPH Sparkling Red NV $44.99

received this today and contrary to the website blurb, it's not 2012 but the July 2014 disgorgement, considered one of the best, being rated 96pts by tyson stelzer and david prestipino, 95pts by mike bennie

From this mornings email. I've got enough reds and I'm not sure my wife would truly appreciate the Grosset

If I'm not mistaken the Haselgrove was on Vinomofo within the last week for around $14.50 a bottle. Was in a case of 12 though from memory.

VM dozen was still cheaper than a half case of the same from eipQure then!

Yep, although there may be the matter of the 5000 bonus QFF points and the costs of postage to consider as well.

My view is that air miles are no substitute for cold hard cash, which is a currency whose buying power you have more control over.

unfortunately - but perhaps not surprisingly - Voyager Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2009 sold out at $65/bt

luckily I can still look forward to the 2008 from when this pack was $120

Just took the plunge on D'Arenberg Ironstone Pressings 2012 - a good year, and a very good wine (96 points Wine Front and Huon Hooke). Can be had for $55 a bottle elsewhere (so a saving of $60 a case), but $60 extra for approx 16,500 points (when ccard earn factored in) plus free delivery seems reasonable

Just taken my first plunge on epiqure. 20,000 pts for a voyager Cab merlot 2008, Cape Mentelle Shiraz 2013, Dead Arm Shiraz 2012, and 3 decent fillers. Pretty happy with that.

Sounds like you picked up the icons mixed 6 ($140 with no bonus points as far as I can see on the website). How did you manage to score 20,000 points?

 

[Solid]

Paid with points?

 

[ste667]

Yes, just meant the price of the pack. $140 equivalent

 

[adelee]

ah... guess that leaves more J and F award flights and points upgrades for the rest of us

 

[ste667]

I'm probably the least frequently flying member of AFF. I was lured here by the VM thread and sort of stuck

Two somewhat interesting 5000 point bonus offers on:

Mitolo Angela Shiraz 2014 ($177 for 6) - https://www.qantasepiqure.com.au/p/Mitolo-Angela-Shiraz-2014/MITANGSHI14_C

Haselgrove Switch GSM 2014 ($180 for 6) - https://www.qantasepiqure.com.au/p/Haselgrove-Switch-GSM-2014/HASSWIGSM14_C

Has anybody tried either wine? I'm still a bit scarred from a previous Mitolo purchase but the reviews seem decent for the Angela.
