Just purchased a mixed case from Kemeny’s on your advice – and saved an amazing $119 on one order. Can’t wait to see how much I save in a year.

Customer Reviews

Brayden M
Very happy to pay this small fee for what is the best weekly wine mailer on offer. Keep up the great work.

Customer Reviews

Huon Hooke, Wine Writer & Critic
Kim is an outspoken defender of truth, justice and value-for-money in wine and I highly respect his opinions, his passion and his convictions.

Customer Reviews

Chris L 

The big surprise, as you say Kim, is there is literally no relationship between price and quality in the wine world. The $10 Azahara you recommended for our farewell party was ridiculously good.

Customer Reviews

Clive Davidson 

Lisa and I have an annual Xmas dinner for twenty of our closest friends and your BWW delivers the goods every year. Not a bad bottle ever. Keep up the great work, mate.

Customer Reviews

Warren Mason, Competition Director, Sydney International Wine Competition
Huge devotion! Weekly updates! A really useful consumer service. You deserve all the goodwill you have.

Customer Reviews

David Jackson  

I would never have found the Dandelion Vineyards Wonderland of the Eden Valley Riesling at Aldi for $15:00. I was down to the last two bottles and they had cost $20. Well done, Kim. Happy to recommend BWW to any person who wants fair, balanced ratings on good wines and where to buy them at bargain prices.
Customer Reviews

Carl Shipton

Didn’t know some of the wines, but I was blown away by the quality available for this kind of money. I’ve paid a lot more for labels I know and been hugely disappointed.

Customer Reviews

Peter Bourne, The Wine Man
Kim is a fearless advocate for truth and value  for wine consumers. Follow him and you’ll be informed and entertained, too.

Customer Reviews

Bec C 

Last year I used your Best Wines advice to pre-order 6 months’ supply of wine to be shipped to me overseas. What a treat! Thanks for the great resource, Kim!

Customer Reviews

Alan E  

Congratulations on a great and informative newsletter. It’s been a wonderful help in choosing good quality, reasonably priced wines. I never miss miss a week now.

Customer Reviews

Darryl Pratt, Wine Direct
The guys I deal with all respect your opinion and unbiased approach, as I do.

Customer Reviews

Peter Calder 

I buy wine for about a dozen families, for a company and for myself, with current cellar stock 1500 bottles. Your advice is a highly valued and reliable bench mark and, by the way, I am not a connoisseur collector but a consumer. I say drink and enjoy (in moderation of course)!

Customer Reviews

Bill Walter  

I continue  to buy and taste  on your recommendations and thoroughly enjoying the experience and to date, not one disappointment. Don’t plan to retire soon!

Customer Reviews

Phil Harris 

Congratulations, Kim. You’ve been an invaluable source of information and I have no doubt that I am drinking better wine as result. Having only lived in Australia for 5 years, you’ve really given me an appreciation of how much great wine this country produces. So much so that I now can take a bottle to dinner with friends who have many more years of wine experience than myself and even raise a few compliments on my selections. Safe to say I think you can a lot of the credit for that!

Customer Reviews

Nick Page

Been looking for years for someone who concentrates on the value end of the wine market. It’s written from the right perspective and reduces the legwork needed to find good wines. Thank you.

Customer Reviews

Doug B

You have a gift for wine description that mercifully avoids all the bullshit about the aromatic nuances of pear skins and Virginia tobacco leaf … Enjoying the prices, too.

Customer Reviews

Brodie Scanlan

You do great work and I wouldn’t miss your Weekly for quids. We’ve bought many 12 packs based on your lists and every bottle has been a hit.

Customer Reviews

Stuart McC

Since I subscribed a month or two ago, I’ve used your alerts to guide all my wine buying and they’ve all been good choices. Now I find myself looking forward to reading the mailer on Friday afternoon. 

Customer Reviews

Sarah P

A brilliant service, takes all the leg work out of choosing great wines.

Customer Reviews

Aunty Jack

I read with great interest every week all the wines you recommend.  I am a big fan of Riesling especially Leo Burings but have enjoyed your other recommendations Frogmore, Claymore and Heemskerk.  I buy all my wines through Kemenys as I like to support the independent wine suppliers.

Customer Reviews

James T

Bought some of the Hilltops Shiraz (hidden label) from Kemenys after reading your recommendation. Excellent choice. Love your mailer. Thanks.

 

Customer Reviews

Graham S

Four times my annual subscription saved in one transaction! How good is that, Kim?

Customer Reviews

Lambert D
I’ve ordered a couple of 6-packs from your great list of value wines. I have about 500 wines racked up in my cellar but continually need drink-now wines for daily consumption.  However, some of your suggestions are making me wonder whether I need to buy more racks … Thanks.

 

Customer Reviews

Kellie Grove
I impressed my husband…..I bought the last 6 bottles of 2015 Lizzie at our cellar.  I have also introduced him to your website.  He was very amused with some of your comments. He is now looking forward to your weekly email, too.  Keep up the great work. 

Customer Reviews

Tim Humphries

Thanks Kim, what a ripping mailer. I suspect my bank account will suffer, but the quality of wine will improve and my stockpile might also grow!  Thanks again.

 

Customer Reviews

Keith Hockly
Emailed Darryl from WineDirect re the shiraz special and got a call back within ten minutes to organise the sale. Friendly professional service. Glad I signed up.  Impressed so far!

Customer Reviews

David Klease
I usually avoid South American wine like the plague. However I went on a limb and trusted your advice on  Montes limited selection in today’s Friday mail out. For $10, it is very, very good.  Nice work Kim!!

Customer Reviews

Keith J
I enjoy your weekly email immensely and purchased a case of Wynns Coonawarra Cab Sauv from Winestar in a seamless transaction. I’m your latest fan.

Customer Reviews

Love the way you cut through the labyrinth of wine hype with succinct and pithy comments that are a pleasure to read.

Customer Reviews

Joan S
Great mailer! I love it and find it really useful when buying wine – you do all the leg work for me.

Customer Reviews

Chris B
Really enjoying your mailer. It’s independent, refreshingly honest, and doesn’t take itself too seriously. 

Customer Reviews

George Carter
Kim, you have an awesome wine mailer. I can sense the passion!  

Customer Reviews

I’m loving your work, and have forwarded your mailer to my wine-loving friends.

Thank you for your weekly wine newsletter. BWW has become an important part of my life.  

Customer Reviews

Clive D
Great work on the mailer – provides a great service to those of us who have never really developed their expertise. We need to be saved from ourselves and our irrational way of making wine purchases. Really enjoy the price/quality ratio.

Customer Reviews

Peter N Wine Guru
I’ve been thinking about exactly this model for a number of years. Well done, Kim. Great work.

Customer Reviews
