A
cork or a screw cap?
Most
of the wines bought in Australia will be drunk in the following two
days. Keeping the wine is not a custom and there are not so many individual
cellars anyway. In such a context, screw caps are just perfect for their
purpose: closing the bottle, and most of all, it makes the opening much
easier! A question of cost also, but why should it be a question of
saving money if the quality stays the same? Especially with the percentage
of corked wines (between 5 and 7% according to the professionals)...
Well,
it is true that a screw cap is not as romantic as a cork. But at least
it is a guarantee that the wine will have the taste desired by the winemaker.
For sparkling
wines, a crown cap does the job. Once again, simpler, cheaper, same
effects, and it creates a certain design which can be successful...

Names to remember & brand building
The name
is the first way to remember the wine.
There
is a plethora of animal names given to wines in Australia, sometimes
very obvious.
But there
are also very unexpected and striking denominations: Brothers in
Arms, Cockfighter's Ghost, The Dead Arm, Devil's
Lair, Innocent Bystander, Frisky Filly, The Galvo
Garage, The Laughing Magpie, Suckfizzle, 10 Minutes
by Tractor, Tin Cows, Turkey Flat, Two Hands.
