Is your w**e living on top of the fridge? As someone in w**e this is the question I get asked a lot🍷

Friday w**e hack: how to store your w**e at home
🍾 Cork? Lie it on its side so the cork stays moist. Screwcaps can stand up.
🌡️ Keep it steady. Temperature swings do more damage than a slightly warm room, so skip the top of the fridge and the garage.
🌑 Keep it dark. UV light ages w**e quickly, especially in clear bottles like rosé.

The best spots at home are a cool cupboard, the bottom of a wardrobe or under the bed.

Pinot’s verdict 🐶: lying down in a cool, dark spot is also how she likes to be stored.

Save this, and send it to the friend who keeps their w**e next to the oven 👇

This grape was nearly extinct. Now it’s one of Australia’s most exciting whites 🍋

Fiano has been around for over 2,000 years. It was a favourite of the Romans (and the bees), was almost wiped out, then staged a comeback and found a second home in McLaren Vale.

Same w**ery and same skin contact method, so why does one pour gold and the other pink? 🍊

Samm and Gee Gee are both from See Saw’s Incubator series in Orange, NSW, where the team experiments with small batches made with as little intervention as possible.
Samm blends Sauvignon Blanc and Marsanne for a juicy, tropical orange w**e.
Gee Gee pairs Pinot Gris with Gewürztraminer, and the Pinot Gris skins give it that cloudy watermelon colour along with notes of cumquat and rosewater.

Are you Team Samm or Team Gee Gee?
Tell us in the comments, and save this for your next dinner.

Shop both at the link in our bio.
