This Is Wine is an independent Australian wine publication. We write about wine for people who enjoy drinking it — not for collectors, sommeliers, or anyone who takes wine more seriously than it deserves to be taken.
Our focus is practical: which wines are worth buying, where to find them, how to match them with food, and what makes Australian wine regions worth understanding. We cover everything from $15 bottles at Dan Murphy's to the benchmark wines that set the standard for each variety.
What We Cover
Regions — The story behind Australia's major and emerging wine regions. What grows where, why it matters, and which producers are doing the best work.
Food Pairing — Practical matching guides that actually tell you what to buy, not just what category of wine to look for.
Under $30 — The best value wines available in Australia right now. We taste widely so you don't have to guess.
Our Approach
We use affiliate links to support the site — if you buy wine through a link on this site, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. This doesn't influence what we recommend. We only link to wines and retailers we'd genuinely suggest to a friend.
All content on This Is Wine is written for an Australian audience. Prices are in AUD. Availability reflects major Australian retailers unless otherwise noted.
