Wolf Blass Eaglehawk Cabernet Sauvignon 2006

This is an enjoyable everyday wine, which is light yet with a dry finish. It has flavours of blackcurrant and mint, with a hint of dark chocolate. The alcohol content is 13.5%, which is pretty usual, and equivalent to 8 standard drinks. It should be readily available in most bottle shops for around the $11 mark, but look out for it on special as low as $7.

Stonefish Verdelho 2007

This is a crisp dry white wine, with passionfruit and pineapple flavours throughout, which linger on. The alcohol content is 13.6%, which is equivalent to 8 standard drinks. This wine is from the Hunter Valley region, and is a great dry white to sit back and sip at a bbq or on the beach. The in-laws bought it on special at their local bottlo for $10.
