I don’t mind Cleanskin wine — I’ve never really heard of it until I came to Australia. I’m sure they have them in the States, but I’ve never purchased one. The premise behind Australian Cleanskin is to sell unlabelled wines from various sources directly to the public.
Cleanskin also means that the wines are going to be cheaper. You can find decent bottles for $ 10 and you can get a discount if you buy a case. Cheap is good, but it isn’t always good when it comes to wine. Luckily, Australian Cleanskin does have some good wines.
You can find wines from Australia’s leading wine regions along with some Bordeaux and Burgundy from France, and Piemonte and Tuscany from Italy. I purchased a delicious Chablis from Australian Cleanskin for around $ 20. A Chablis would probably cost at least $ 40.
The Johnston Street Australian Cleanskin is conveniently located near me, but it also one of a few bottleshops in the area.

The Australian Cleanskin Group present a novel concept rather well for how you can buy decent wines for relatively cheap prices. For those that are unsure how cleanskin wines work, let me explain.
Cleanskins are bottles of wine whose labels do not indicate the winery or the name of the winemaker. You will typically just get the year of the wine and the variety of grape used. What this means to the customers is simple — by not spending money on marketing and growing a brand the cost saving can be passed onto the consumer through cheaper wines.
You can get bottles on wine starting from around $ 3 and the more expensive ones will go up to ~$ 30. The ones at $ 3 are usually a step above goonbags. The wines start to get pretty good at the $ 10 mark.
In my experience it is pretty hit and miss as to which are the good wines. There are definitely some gems in and amongst there. By trial and error you’ll find some hidden treasures. Give it a go, you might just hit the jackpot.

Australians love wine and we love tasty wine that is cheap. That was the number one request when I worked in a wine store — ‘something really nice and not too expensive’.
Well some smart bugga has gone and made a whole company just to do that — tasty wine that is cheap. This Smith Street store has a plethora of predominately Australian wine and stocks a bit of European and South American as well.
Number one rule with wine — cheap doesn’t mean good. Although there are some exceptionally cheap wines here there are also some exceptionally bad wines.
Now sure, taste is a personal perspective, but some of these cheaper ones should not be sold. If you want some advice, I wouldn’t buy anything for under $ 10-$ 15 from this store. The general rule with wines (especially for those under $ 100) is ‘the more you spend the better the wine’ and in this shop that saying rings true.

Cleanskins often get a bad rap. Fact: it is rarely OK to turn up to dinner brandishing a couple cleanskin bottles.
BUT fact: Australian Cleanskin Group make really decent wines and don’t charge you much for them. And they put them in bottles that look nicer than the usual cleanskin jars, so your friends might not even notice.
Close to the Woolworths on Smith St, the shop is a perfect stop-off on the way home to buy a bottle of cab merlot or shiraz for anywhere between $ 4 (for serious) and around $ 20. Yep, they go up to the nicer end of grapes too, so you can really get some good value. They also do discounts when buying multiples of the same wine, like 10% off six or ‘buy two get one free’.
Really, if you’re buying wine anywhere else you’re a bit of a chump.
