The Australian wine industry is one of the largest in the world with over 60 designated wine regions, mostly in the southern parts of the country. While there are over 150 different varieties of grapes grown in Australia, the country has become most famous for its Shiraz. Other well known varieties grown in Australia include Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Grenache (red grape varieties) and Chardonnay, Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling (whte grape varieties). Wine is actually produced in every state with South Australia and Victoria leading the way. There is no better time to be a wine lover in Australia. With the rise in new styles of wine, including skin contact wine, orange wine, natural wine and pet nat, there is a wave of new producers pushing the boundaries and limits of traditional winemaking, while at the same time calling back to historical methods of minimal intervention wine making techniques.

There are quite a few online wine stores in Australia that specialise in traditional wines you may find at big retail stores, but Bucket Boys has a distinct focus on small producers, hard to find releases, and wines you will not see in your average wine store. Buy wine hand selected by our staff and enjoy a selection of wine curated by our expert staff from small, independent producers across Australia.
