"win wine" news and stories

Yep, you read that correctly - you could, with probably better odds than winning the lottery, win a years supply of wine. All you have to do is find a golden cork in a bottle of Brown Brothers wine. The only restriction is that you have to be in Australia!

Somewhere down under there are five golden corks stuck in a bottle of wine. If one is found before the 30th June that lucky imbiber will win plenty of wine. While some may consume rather more than the six bottles of wine per month up for grabs it isn't half a good prize! Especially as it lasts for 25 YEARS! You have to have Australian residency; sadly mine ran out years ago.  The five golden corks can be found  in  one of Brown Brothers Moscato, Pinot  Grigio, Tarrango, Dolcetto & Syrah,  Everton  Red, Everton  White, Spatlese  Lexia and Crouchen  Riesling.

There are also consolation prizes, with a further 684,551 corks or screw caps marked with the words "second chance." Find two of these and you could go into a draw for one of 500 Brown Brothers wine packs.

You have to live in Australia to participate but if you can pull a cork (or twist off a cap), can string more than two words together into a coherent sentence (something often lacking here at Slashfood what with staying up till all hours an all) you could win a bottle of wine.

One of the great Australian wine blogs - Pinot Island - is offering a bottle from Delamere Vineyards for the most original and interesting wine tasting note. As I have already written you have to live in Australia to join in  but really folks there is nothing to it. You sniff, you slurp, you ponder and then you write. Easy. If I can do it anyone can.
