IT is true that the cost of living is not what it used to be, but you don’t have to pay too much for quality wines. Phillips Cellars’ clean skin wine sale is back, making April the opportune time to stock up on revered drops handpicked by proprietor, Paul Phillips.
Clean skin wines are unlabelled bottles that offer high-quality wine at lower prices by removing marketing, branding and packaging costs. The annual sale provides exceptional wines from prestigious wine regions at a fraction of the cost at other retailers.
Phillips Cellars’ range includes big sellers like the Heathcote Shiraz ($11 per bottle or $120 for a dozen) and Dookie Shiraz (just $9 a bottle or $100 for a dozen), the ever-popular King Valley Pinot Grigio ($8 per bottle or $90 for a dozen), plus 12 more exceptional buys.
“All of these wines have been personally vetted by me,” said Paul. “If they carried their original labels, you’d be looking at a price tag north of $22. In the current economic climate, it’s about giving people access to that same level of quality at a much more accessible price point.”
The sale is on while stocks last. Stock up and save by heading to Phillips Cellars at 119 Corio Street, Shepparton, open 9am to 6pm Monday to Friday, and 9am to 3pm on Saturdays. Phone: (03) 5821 2051.
