Whether wine comes in a papsak, a bottle with a fancy label, with award stickers, a cardboard box or a jug – well it doesn’t matter!
The real allure of wine, contrary to the Cremora Ad, is more about what’s inside than anything else.
It’s like the search for that perfect wave: obvious to find at J Bay but who knows you may just experience a killer set at Camps Bay (unlikely I know but you get my drift)!
So I urge you to forget about the fancy labels, award stickers and household names and seek out new and less obvious wines – it makes the journey so much more interesting!
Here’s a different approach to wine that I recommend you try: BlankBottle
I bet you’ll find some real gems – and you may even find owner Pieter Walser’s approach refreshing!
Let me know about a great wine you’ve had recently – the more South African wine we drink and profile the better!

for me: Text. Yah, funny name, but fabulously delicious. Then there is also the Woolworths label, which I forgot the name of, but its something along the lines of Wickedly delicious, or something like that. I like my wine to have a kiff story at the back of it. And for it to be red. Red, red, Wiiiine! *refrains from singing*
