How to Buy Wine Online in Australia

Online wine shopping can be overwhelming. Here’s a step-by-step guide to buying wine online in Australia safely, smartly, and confidently.

How to Buy Wine Online in Australia (Without Getting Burned)

Buying wine online should be easy—but with thousands of options, it can quickly get confusing. Which store do you trust? Are the wines any good? And how do you avoid shipping disasters in summer? Here’s our expert guide to buying wine online in Australia like a pro.

1. Stick With Reputable Retailers

Look for stores that list who’s behind the business, how they select wines, and have real contact info. At Wine Simple, every wine is handpicked by a real person (Matt!) who’s tasted the bottle, not just added it to a spreadsheet.

2. Read Descriptions & Filters

Use search filters: red, white, region, grape, style. Great online stores make it easy to find what you love. Explore by region (e.g., Yarra Valley) or style (Pinot Noir or Shiraz).

3. Check Delivery Times & Heat Protections

In summer, choose sellers who pause delivery during extreme heat or use insulated packaging. Most premium sites also offer tracking and fast metro dispatch (1–2 days to Sydney/Melbourne).

4. Know the Return Policy

Can’t stand the wine? Reputable sellers should have a satisfaction policy. At minimum, damage and corked wines should be replaced with no fuss.

5. Sign Up for Deals

Email subscribers often get access to exclusive discounts and packs. Great value lives in inboxes. Just saying.

Need a great place to start? Our Red Wine and White Wine collections are full of trusted, handpicked wines—ready to ship Australia-wide.
