Wine Experience started out as a wine shop that sold almost exclusively cleanskins. They still sell loads of cleanskins and they’re still of amazing value. Of recent times, Wine Experience has branched out and now has a carefully selected, interesting range of imported wines. I’ve noticed that their selection of imported wines seems to have a particular emphasis on French, Italian, and Spanish wines. I love a good Spanish rose so this suits me just fine. They do have wine from other areas, but there is a big bias towards those places. The staff are always helpful and generally knowledgable. Although, if I were after super expert advice and a willingness for a long consultation, I’l probably go to Wine Emporium first. Wine Experience is one of Brisbane’s premier wine cellars and it’s obvious that the people who run it have a passion for wine which is always nice to see in a bottle shop.

Wine Experience gives a whole new meaning to the term ‘cleanskins’. You’re no longer taking a stab in the dark with a cheap bottle of shiraz, hoping that it’ll be robust in flavour but are instead faced with the full-on flavour of vinegar. These guys source their bottles with quality in mind, which makes sense as their whole business model is at stake. Cleanskins aside, they also boast a huge variety of international labels, with a particularly large emphasis on Spanish varietals(Syrah, Garnacha, Tempranillo and Crianza). They also stock a large selection of wine from boutique Australian vineyards.

Remember the days when you’d walk into the bottle shop and purchase a mystery bottle of $ 3 red? You’d take it to dinner, and give a warning about the quality of the wine. «It could go either way, my friends. We’ll just have to suck it and see». Well, there’s no more of that because the guys at Wine Experience have done the hard work for you, having selected the best range of cleanskin wines from over Australia and New Zealand. This means that you can shed that anxiety, go to Wine Experience, a purchase a quality drop of wine, guaranteed! You won’t find your 0-$ 5 range of cleanskins here. When you take the mystery element out of the cleanskin experience, you find yourself paying more– just to know that you have chosen a tasty bottle of wine that you won’t be ashamed bringing out at your next event. Expect to pay between $ 9– $ 15, which you still can’t turn your nose up at. The staff are extremely knowledgable, and are more than happy to help. I decided to purchase a very fine Pinot Noir yesterday, being sold on «its mild aroma and flavour, and its low acidity». I took it home and had the bottle to myself I liked it so much. Start that cellar you’ve been dreaming of, because with Wine Experience just down the road, you can afford to.

Wine Experience is the answer to any wine lovers dreams as it offers quality wine at affordable prices! How to they manage to do that? Well, the concept is pretty simple, they sell them in cleanskins! Before you start thinking of those $ 3 wine bottles tight-arses bring to parties, let me reassure you, these are not the same thing. Every cleanskin that is sold at ‘Wine Experience’ has been carefully selected from some of the finest wine regions around Australia and New Zealand so you know they must be good. Even though I am not the biggest wine coinnesseur, I do know my fair share of what to look for when wine shopping. This place stocks wines from regions such as Adelade Hills, Barossa Valley and Frankland River and all types of wine ranging from Tempranillo to Rieslings. These wine bottles cost between $ 8 to $ 15 and I am glad to say that every bottle of wine I have purchase here, I have enjoyed! Since most of the restaurants around Rosalie are BYO, buying wine from here and taking into the restaurant is something I like to do as it saves money a lot of money. The only downside is that you don’t get a pretty picture on the front. For anyone who loves a good wine at a cheap price, I would recommend you check this place out!
