Bringing in barrels full of bargains

Bringing in barrels full of bargains on the faithful old Glug track

Bringing in barrels full of bargains on the faithful old Glug truck. What a highlight for a winemaker’s week. Collected from one of our regulars – some glorious Vintage 23 Barossa Valley Shiraz and Grenache

Looking forward to making something nice from these!

Sure that in time after careful attention they’ll make more of those great limited Glug releases.

We already have a collection of many such bargains where we are happy to keep the makers names secret to protect their own marketing efforts. You’ll find them under Glug labels on our list of wines at less than $20 a bottle.

We explained last year how we are continuing the tradition of the Barossa wine merchant of picking the best barrels from those that small wine makers found were surplus to what they could sell to their own customers. With conditions getting harder in the industry we are being offered more and more excellent wines to choose from.

Bringing in barrels full of bargains will make this a tasty year for Glug customers and that’s a promise.

With there now being 2500 producers Australia wide, many of them find they cannot sell their total production at the prices they had become accustomed to. We discuss this problem in our post “If my neighbour’s selling his shiraz for $50″
