Wine Simple — premium Australian wine delivered

Wine Simple is your online destination for premium Australian wine — handpicked for quality, character, and regional expression. No supermarket private labels. Just producers we genuinely believe in.


Our story (and why it had to be built)

Wine Simple started from a simple frustration: spending good money on wine that was… fine. Not memorable. Not exciting. And definitely not worth the hype.

In 2018 I started an Instagram account called Wine Review Simple — straight-talk reviews, zero snobbery, and a lot of love for Australian winemakers. Over time it grew into a community of 12,000+ engaged followers, and something important happened: I met the people behind the bottles.

The more I tasted, the more I realised the best wines weren’t always the loudest ones — they were often made by small, independent producers doing the work quietly, properly, and with pride. So I made the call to “put my money where my mouth is” and build a store around the wines I’d actually recommend to mates.

Need wine? Simple. Wine Simple.

What we’re here to do: make it easy to buy genuinely great Australian wine online — without the big-retail fluff, fake discounts, or endless choice that leaves you guessing.

The Wine Simple way (no jargon, no judgement)

The wine world can get loud and a bit snobby. That’s not us. Wine should feel enjoyable, not intimidating — and your taste is allowed to be your taste.

The only 3 questions about wine that actually matter

1
Did you like it?
If you enjoyed it, that’s the point.
2
Was it worth the money?
Value beats hype — every time.
3
Would you buy it again?
That’s the real test — repeatable joy.

Why choose Wine Simple

Founder-led tasting

Every wine is personally chosen. If we don’t love it, we don’t sell it. Simple as that. The range stays tight on purpose — fewer bottles, higher standards, better drinking.

Quality over profit

We say “no” far more than “yes”. We’d rather miss a sale than compromise on what goes in your glass. Honest value for money beats margin games.

Direct relationships

We work directly with Australian winemakers — from emerging talent to iconic labels — plus trusted small distributors. That means better access to small lots, clearer provenance, and real storytelling.

No gimmicks

No inflated RRPs. No “70% off” theatre. Just sharp, fair pricing every day — and genuine offers when they matter.

From boutique to iconic (the range has range)

We champion small, family-owned producers — but we also love Australian icons. You’ll see names like Henschke and Penfolds alongside smaller releases you won’t find everywhere. The common thread is simple: it has to earn its spot.

I’ve always been a wine consumer first. I’m the kind of person who opens a bottle, thinks about it, then goes searching for the next region, the next winemaker, the next “how is this so good?” moment.

After 22 years in policing, I swapped briefing rooms for barrel rooms — but I kept the same standards: discipline, integrity, and attention to detail. Today I personally taste and hand-select every bottle on Wine Simple and work directly with winemakers I trust.

My promise is straightforward: I don’t stock everything — I stock the best. If a producer makes fifteen wines, I’ll list only the few that truly overdeliver on quality and value. That way, when you buy a Grenache, a Shiraz, or a Pinot from Wine Simple, you’re not gambling — you’re choosing a standout.
