About Wine Simple

Our story, our approach and what makes our range different.

What is Wine Simple?

Wine Simple is an independent, family-owned online wine retailer based on the southern Gold Coast. Every wine in our range is personally selected, with a particular focus on boutique Australian producers and outstanding winemakers. We also stock a small selection of imported wines and Champagne.

Where is Wine Simple based?

Wine Simple is based on the southern Gold Coast, Australia. We are an online retailer delivering to eligible addresses across QLD, NSW, VIC, SA, WA and ACT.

Do you have a physical store or cellar door?

Wine Simple is an online-only wine store, so we don't have a shopfront or cellar door. From time to time, we take part in tastings and wine events. Follow us on social media or join our newsletter to hear about upcoming opportunities.

What makes Wine Simple different from big bottle shops?

We don't stock every wine. Just the ones we RECOMMEND. Each wine is personally selected for its quality, character and the people behind it. Explore the Red Wine, White Wine and Halliday-rated wines collections to see what we mean.

Is it safe to buy wine online from Wine Simple?

Yes. Wine Simple is a licensed Australian online wine retailer. Checkout is handled through Shopify's secure payment systems, and we provide clear contact details, shipping information and returns policies so you know what to expect before ordering.

Ordering & Payments

Everything you need to know before and after checkout.

How do I place an order?

Browse our Red Wines, White Wines or other collections, add the bottles you want to your cart and follow the secure checkout. You'll receive an order confirmation by email and tracking once your wine has been dispatched.

Do I need an account to buy wine online?

No. You can shop as a guest. Creating an account can make it easier to view orders and manage your details, but you don't need one to place an order.

Can I change or cancel my order after placing it?

Please contact us at info@winesimple.com.au as soon as possible with your order number. We may be able to help before dispatch, but changes or cancellations become more difficult once the order has shipped.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept major credit and debit cards and other payment options offered at our secure checkout. The methods available for your order will be shown before you pay.

Are prices in Australian dollars and inclusive of GST?

Yes. Our website prices are displayed in Australian dollars (AUD) and include GST where applicable. Delivery charges, if any, are shown at checkout.

Do you offer discount codes or special offers?

Occasionally. We may share special offers, new releases and limited allocations through our email newsletter and social channels. Any current discount and eligibility conditions are confirmed at checkout.

Shipping & Delivery

Where we deliver, what it costs and when to expect your wine.

Do you deliver wine across Australia?

We deliver to eligible addresses in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia and the ACT. Tasmania isn't available at standard checkout, but you can email us to request a freight quote. Northern Territory orders aren't currently available through checkout. Some remote and restricted postcodes may also be excluded. See our Shipping Policy.

How much does shipping cost? Do you offer free delivery?

Our published Shipping Policy currently lists $20 flat-rate shipping on eligible orders under $220 and free standard shipping on eligible orders over $220. Available rates are confirmed at checkout. Visit our Shipping Policy for exclusions and updates.

How long will my wine delivery take?

We aim to dispatch orders within one business day (Monday–Friday). Following dispatch, most deliveries arrive in approximately 2–6 business days, depending on your location and the courier network. Weather, peak periods and regional routes can affect delivery times. These are estimates rather than guaranteed dates. Read our Shipping Policy for details.

Can I track my order?

Yes. Once your order has been dispatched, we'll send you a confirmation email with tracking information so you can follow its progress.

What happens if I’m not home when my wine is delivered?

Wine deliveries may require a signature or proof-of-age check. If delivery cannot be completed, the courier may take your order to a collection point or arrange redelivery. Any authority-to-leave option depends on carrier policy and applicable alcohol-delivery requirements.

Do you deliver to apartments, offices or workplaces?

Yes, where courier service and alcohol-delivery requirements allow. Enter the full delivery address and any useful access instructions at checkout, and ensure an eligible adult can receive the wine if required.

Do you offer same-day or express wine delivery?

We don't currently offer same-day or express delivery as a standard service. If you're ordering for a particular occasion or deadline, please order early, or email info@winesimple.com.au before purchasing to discuss likely delivery timing.

How do you pack wine for shipping?

We use sturdy cartons and protective wine packaging designed to help prevent bottle movement and damage in transit.

What about hot weather and heat damage?

Heat and prolonged temperature exposure can affect wine. If you're ordering during a heatwave or have timing concerns, contact us before placing your order so we can discuss available options. Once your delivery arrives, move it somewhere cool and out of direct sunlight.

Can I get wine delivered to my door or wine near me?

Home delivery is available to many eligible metro and regional Australian postcodes. Enter your delivery address at checkout to see available options, and refer to our Shipping Policy for exclusions.

Wines & Products

Choosing, receiving and caring for your bottles.

How does Wine Simple choose which wines to stock?

Matt personally tastes and selects wines for Wine Simple. We focus on quality, distinctive producers and wines we'd genuinely recommend, rather than trying to stock every label on the market.

Do you only stock Australian wine?

Our range is predominantly Australian, spanning regions such as the Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, Yarra Valley, Hunter Valley and Tasmania. We also offer a smaller selection of carefully chosen imported wines and Champagne.

Do you stock Halliday-rated and award-winning wines?

Yes. Many wines in our range have received strong reviews from the Halliday Wine Companion tasting team. Our dedicated Halliday-rated wine collection makes it easy to explore highly rated bottles.

What happens if a wine vintage changes?

We aim to show the correct vintage on every product page. If a listed vintage becomes unavailable after you've placed an order, we'll contact you before substituting another vintage.

Do you offer mixed cases and curated packs?

We offer wine selections and, when available, curated packs to help you explore producers, regions and varieties. Browse the current range or ask us to recommend a selection for your budget and tastes.

How should I store my wine once it arrives?

Keep wine in a cool, dark place with a stable temperature and away from direct sunlight and heat. Cork-sealed bottles are generally stored on their sides; screw-cap bottles can be stored upright. Wines intended for long-term ageing benefit from a temperature-controlled wine fridge or cellar.

Are all wines suitable for cellaring?

No. Some wines are made to be enjoyed young, while others can develop complexity with suitable storage. Where available, our product pages include drinking-window or cellaring information to help you decide when to open a bottle.

What to do if something with your order needs attention.

What is your returns and refund policy?

If an order arrives damaged, faulty, incorrect or not as described, please contact us promptly with your order number and any relevant photos. Your rights under Australian Consumer Law apply. The conditions differ for damaged deliveries, confirmed faults and change-of-mind requests. See our full Returns & Refunds Policy.

What should I do if my wine arrives broken, leaking or damaged?

Please email info@winesimple.com.au within 48 hours of delivery where possible. Include your order number and photographs of the outer carton, inside packaging and affected bottles.

Contact us as soon as you notice the issue, with your order number and a description of the suspected fault. Please keep the bottle and remaining wine, as we may request it for assessment.

Our goodwill change-of-mind policy provides an exchange, not a refund, for orders of six or more bottles of the same wine and vintage, requested within 90 days of delivery. Bottles must be unopened, in their original packaging and properly stored; the customer pays return shipping. Mixed packs and smaller quantities aren't eligible for this goodwill exchange.
