Competitions and prizes

COMPETITION CLOSED - During the three month launch period we will be offering many fabulous prizes including Penfolds Grange 2003 and Bollinger Champagne (see below for details of these prizes).

"To share a mature Grange, 15 to 20 years old, in fine condition, is one of the great wine experiences. "
Penfolds website.

Here is your chance to join the exclusive Grange owner's club! How many people do you know that are fortunate enough to have tried this wine?

Grange is arguably Australia's most famous wine and is officially listed as a Heritage Icon of South Australia. Grange boasts an unbroken line of vintages from the experimental 1951 and clearly demonstrates the synergy between Shiraz and the soils and climates of South Australia.

PENFOLDS Grange displays fully-ripe, intensely-flavoured and textured Shiraz grapes in combination with new American oak. The result is a unique Australian style that is now recognised as one of the most consistent of the world's great wines. The Grange style is the original and most powerful expression of PENFOLDS multi-vineyard, multi-district blending philosophy.

Anyone for Bolli dahleeng? Help us celebrate the launch of The Wine Forum and pop the cork on yet another inconic wine, this time from the Champagne region of France. Gosh it's not real Champagne unless it's from Champagne sweety.
