Given times are tight at the moment, we're putting extra effort into the value side of the equation, whilst, as always striving to offer the best wines possible. So, here's a $180 baker's doz we think comfortably passes the Pub Test.

Inside, you’ll find:

3 bottles of a 94-point Barossa Cab

3 bottles of a double gold-winning Padthaway blend

3 bottles of Cape Jaffa’s stunning 2021 Shiraz Cab

3 bottles of Showblock’s powerhouse 95-point Cab Shiraz

The 13th? Oh, that's just a bottle of Martin’s $150 a bottle 97-point McLaren Vale Shiraz—a super-premium stunner and longtime best-seller.

Great wine, serious value. Hard to go wrong with this one.

A premium alternatives pack which we think is a bit of a no-brainer. We kick off with the following four Aussie alternatives. After Five's 5 trophy winning Barossa Montepulciano, which is as good a Monte we have ever seen. From Kilikanoon, their stunning, $96, 96 point, flagship Grenache. Artis brings us a magnificently perfumed Nero and Songlines, an old vine, 100% whole bunch Barossa Grenache. Then we have a Riserva Chianti from the low yielding and fabulous 2020 vintage, and a densely powerful Rioja, made by one of just 2 producers who are more than a century old. These are all excellent and we've no doubt you'll have as much fun with them as we do..

A fresh alt-red pack, including a cracker from France and a corker from Italy. We've got straight varietals here and blends, and the following can be found herein:

Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara from Bardolino in Italy.

Grenache, Shiraz and Mourvèdre from the tiny Rhône sub-region of Gadagne in France.

Sangiovese and Lagrein from South Oz.

Grenache, Shiraz and Mataro (AKA Mourvèdre) from Turkey Flat in the Barossa.

Touriga from WA.

Plus a multiple award winning Durif (aka Shiraz on Steroids) from Curtis Family Vineyards.

All lovely, and yours for just $20 a bottle.
