Hol’up a minute, let me just grab a glass before we get started.
In trying times such as these it’s really important to look after yourself, and Dan Murphy’s has provided a list of the best Australia wines under $50 to make it easier to do just that!
Dan Murphy’s broke the competition down into categories. There were three awards per wine type which were; overall best, best value, best international. The intention for these awards were to be less focused on the overall best quality of wine but a contest focused towards the everyday wine drinks. Dan Murphy’s general manager Andrew Shedden said “The result is a line-up of Aussie favourites and international gems that cover just about every drinking occasion you can think of, from steak night to date night”.
