Moving week can be stressful, fun, frustrating, all at once. Lucky there’s a wine pairing for any mood.
We've paired up with our good friends over at Good Pair Days to bring you a tipple for every moving scenario.
1
Wine you can drink out of paper cups
Bay of Stones Sparkling Brut NV | You’ve moved in and it’s time to break out the bubbly, but you forgot which box the glasses are in. Plastic cups it is! Bay of Stones Sparkling Brut NV is a fruity sparkling that tastes delicious from a cup, or even straight from the bottle.
2
Wine for when your utilities aren’t connected yet
Red Embers Shiraz 2020 | Your power isn’t on, so the fridge you spent many sweaty hours moving is useless. If you’re still after some good drop, try Red Embers Shiraz 2020. This succulent red doesn’t need to be chilled, so you can drink it at room temperature, even if you’re using your phone for a light.

Wine to celebrate moving
Pertaringa ‘Lakeside’ Moscato 2022 | What’s sweeter than a successful moving week? Pertaringa ‘Lakeside’ Moscato 2022. With refreshing floral notes, this dessert wine is a sweet treat to end a day of carrying boxes and pivoting couches.
4
Wine that gives you an A for effort
Songs from Mars ‘Ramato’ Pinot Gris |Taped up another box? That deserves a treat. Put a book on a shelf? Treat. Treats hardly come better than Songs from Mars ‘Ramato’ Pinot Gris, a dry savoury white that takes over your tastebuds. This is a delightful reward for any task.

Wine for when you need a buddy
Old Mates Chenin Blanc 2022 | The kids are running and screaming. Your partner wants to move the bookshelf. Or your housemates are on the couch – outside. When your fellow movers aren’t on your level, you’ve got a friend in Old Mates Chenin Blanc 2022. This zesty white refreshes when everyone is driving you up the wall.

Wine for when the paint job doesn't go right
Sherrah Rosé 2021 | That wall looked better in your head, but it’s not working. Now’s as good a time as any to crack open a bottle of Sherrah Rosé 2021. This rose is gentle, with candy floss, raspberry pip and white strawberry. Don’t look at the wall. Look at this label. So…pretty…

Wine to pair with takeaway
La Bise Sangiovese 2021 |Why bother cooking when you haven’t figured out which burner is best? Takeaway is the go-to after a long day of carting things around. La Bise Sangiovese 2021 has a fragrant and plush flavour, a perfect wine pairing for a hearty pizza, eaten from the box, on the floor.
