Summer DRINKING guide
Summer drinking used to mean packing the Esky with a few stubbies of beer and a bottle of sav blanc. Those days are long gone, thank goodness. Now, in 2019, Australian drinkers are much more adventurous. To satisfy our modern summer thirst we want funky pet-nat and traditional cider, innovative spirits and pale, dry rosé. We crave local whites made from exotic grapes, and imported whites made from familiar grapes. And we’re also keen on light, juicy reds best drunk chilled. Time to get a bigger Esky.
