Celebrate that one day in…October

FOOTY finals are a traditional period of celebration in Australian culture.

Even if your team didn’t make the top eight, the finals are a celebration of everything football and what we love about it.

We’ve been deprived of many things this year: Football and socialising are just two. Luckily with eased restrictions, this weekend’s AFL grand final is an opportunity to gather with family and friends.

If you need to stock up on some drinks for the weekend, do it somewhere where you have a chance of winning something yourself.

At Shepparton’s Chas Cole Cellars, they have an exclusive Fowles Wine giveaway where wine lovers can win themselves six bottles of Fowles’ ‘Are You Game’ wines and a 1.5l bottle of their 2012 Sparkling Pinot Noir. You just need to buy a bottle to go into the draw.

Chas Cole has also teamed up with Bright Brewery. Buy a four-pack of the mountain-crafted beer and go into the draw to win a swag pack valued at $200.

Support a local bottle shop this year. Chas Cole Cellars have a fascinating range of craft beers, cleanskin wines, and boutique gin, along with all your beer and wine favourites.

Located North of the CBD behind the APCO Service Station at 111-125 Numurkah Rd, Shepparton, Chas Cole Cellars can be contacted on 5481 1518.

Also, purchase two six-packs of craft beer or spend $40 on wine and receive a free ultimate carwash right there at the servo. Not a bad deal.
