    Sell wine or be Green?

    Some irony in Qantas and it’s Green Tier approach, as well as multitude of “green” changes, to then receive today a Qantas wine glossy physical catalogue in the post (complete with non personalised “letter” addressed “Hello”….). Also arrives wrapped in thin, non-household recycling compatible...

    Where's my Complimentary Qantas Wine Premium Membership?

    Hey Everyone, I recently became an Accor+Gold member having crossed the 30 night threshold earlier this week. It is my understanding that one of the perks of being Accor+Gold is that you get a free QF Wine Premium membership and voucher you can use towards a future purpose with them. Is that...

    Looking to recall a particular wine in the domestic lounges

    I admit this is a rather strange request... I had a very short transit in SYD last week, and quickly poured a glass of white wine (I can't even remember the varietal). Maybe it was just super chilled, but it was very tasty indeed. I'm sure it's not a particularly expensive bottle, and it's...

    Qantas wine $50 points club voucher - No promo code Box!

    Hey all, I can see I have a $50 QF wine club voucher. I’ve been attempting to use it at part payment of a $282 case. I’ve tried entering the code into the ‘promo code’ box but to no avail, I’ve got right to the end of the process but I can’t find a box to enter the voucher code into. Any ideas?

    Ok, no doubt this will be the wrong area to post. I'm looking for recommendations for a "wiine" suit case. Does anyone have any expereinces. I first came across this concept with an international board, where the partner of the chair travelled with a wine suit case for their local purchases...

    Qantas Wine and QFF points timing

    What are member's current experience with points posting timing after Qantas Wine purchases? I seem to remember the points arriving into the QFF account before the wine arrived at the door. However, for my most recent purchase the points are still yet to be seen, even though the order...

    Qantas wine enhanced cartons

    Just received a delivery from Qantas Wines, and noticed the carton it was packed in was a lot poorer than previous shipments I've received. Previously the cartons have been pretty sturdy and I haven't had any problems. This one was really flimsy and totally unsuited for a dozen bottles...

    New markets to buy and sell whisky

    New markets are popping up in Australia to purchase whisky at true market value rather than what stores dictate to you for rare and hard to find spirits, whisky in particular. Similarly to whiskyauctioneer and scotchwhiskyauctions in the UK. Also new avenues to sell whisky legally as a private...

    Anyone seen this before??Etervin Wine Preservation

    Saw this pop up on Facebook. Any interesting concept. Would be interested to know the cost of this. Reckon it’d work but how long would the fancy contraption last? No doubt wear and tear would be a factor

    Shipping wine/alcohol - how to do this more cheaply

    I don't do this very often, but today I had to send 1 bottle of wine (a bottle of Wendouree for those that frequent this thread: Wendouree allocations and general discussion) from NSW to Tasmania. I was shocked that Australia post charged $20 for this and told me it could take up to a week even...

    30K QFF points + wine for 20 SCs = good deal?

    Dear grounded friends I just saw a deal on Qantas Wine. you can trade 30K QFF points for wine (there is some good discount) and get a bonus of 20 SCs. As an example, you can get a case of Spinifex for 30K QFF points. The market value is about 330$, not a good value but would be similar to a...
