A Glass of :
4.79 out of 5 based on 134 reviews.

Say cheers to unwinding with a glass, not a whole bottle, of delicious Aussie wine thanks to A Glass of®.

A Glass of offers wine from Australia’s best independent winemakers, curated by sommeliers from restaurants we all love – and delivers it by the glass, so you don’t need to feel guilty about opening a bottle with dinner.

Whether you prefer red, white, or rose, the team at A Glass of have you covered with their single serve foil-lined pouches of sommelier selected wines from independent winemakers, in a handy 200mL pouch (a little larger than a standard glass serving of 150mL).

All the reasons we love A Glass of.

A Glass of review pouches lined up

Beautiful wine. Every time.

The specially designed foil-lined pouches are better for preserving the quality of the wine than traditional glass bottles. 

And of course the fact that each glass of wine you enjoy is a ‘fresh glass’ there’s no worry about drinking wine that’s been sitting for days.

Quality wine from Australian winemakers.

We know wine election can be pretty intimidating … what we love about A Glass of is that wine is curated and selected by the best sommeliers in Australia, so you can trust the wines are delicious and of great quality, and that you’ll always be discovering new and interesting flavours.

A Glass of is also passionate about drawing attention to the amazing wines coming out of small producers, so you’ll be supporting small businesses with your purchase too.

No Waste.

Convenient 200mL pouches mean you can enjoy a single glass of wine (plus a little extra to top you up) when all you want is a glass. So no half bottles are left sitting around going to waste.

So Convenient.

There’s never been a more convenient way to enjoy quality wine. A Glass of pouches fit anywhere and go anywhere. No worries about glass bottles breaking or needing specially sized wine coolers.  

Kind to our Planet.

A Glass of is committed to sustainability in all aspects of their business. Their pouches are pre-cycled, meaning they create less waste in the first place, and are able to be recycled after use. Compared to glass bottles, these pouches require 73% less energy, 94% less water and create 82% less Co2 to manufacture.

How you can enjoy A Glass of.

With many different wines and packages, A Glass of has something for every wine lover. 

For those who love all wines equally, we recommend their ‘Current List’ pack, including their five featured wines, with two whites, two reds and a rosè. Or you can select your preferred grape from many single-variety packs.

Jump online, and head to A Glass of now, to find out more about each wine on their current list and shop their range.

Cheers to trying a glass of something new!

  • Enjoy a glass and not ruin a bottle.

    As a breast feeding mum these are perfect for me when I occasionally feel like a wine. I didn’t have to waste a whole bottle and I could easily track the amount I had instead of guessing a free pour. It’s also a great way to try the wine before buying a bottle.

  • Perfect Pack

    I absolutely loved trialing these cute little wine packs! Was wonderful to try multiple flavours. I loved every single one. They were perfect to pack for our weekend get away and I didn’t have to worry about smashing or bulky bottles. Lovely flavour and satisfying having just one glass per pouch. I’d definitely buy again!

  • Golden selection

    I loved trying all of different glasses of wine! The rose had to be my favourite – it was packed full of flavour! The best part of these wines is that you only open each glass – not the whole bottle! I love the packaging, the varietals and that they’re affordable! We will definitely be ordering some for the caravan!

  • Rich, light and refreshing

    I tried 4 different wines from A GLASS OF, reading the description this wines are made by five of the best winemakers in the country and the taste speaks for itself. They are so rich, light and refreshing – fruity flavour, little natural acidity, subtle sweetness – they are packed with fun. My absolute favourite is Rose, even though I’m not a Rose person, this one is packed with fruity flavours and a tinge of acidity, mildly sweet and amazing. I give it 10/10 and would definitely be buying again.

  • Just a Genius Product

    WOW, why hasn’t anyone thought of doing this sooner. What a brilliant idea to sell wines in pouches like this. Love that they have 200mls, so a bit over a standard glass. My husband and I shared and tasted all the wines and we actually were quite surprised that we loved them all. All of the wines were easy to drink and tasted great. There are many different blends of wines to choose from, so I’m sure you will find one that you will like too.
    These will be fantastic for when I’m going to friends house for a catchup and drink. Usually I will drive so I don’t really want to take a full bottle of wine. A Glass of is perfect to take along. I also travelled to Bali recently and took a bottle of wine, that I was paranoid could smash, but again taking pouches would have been a much safer option.
    My favourite wine was the Harrison Grenache, closely followed by the Breaking Ground Semillon. I also like all the information that is written on each pouch so you know exactly where its from and who the winemaker is.
    Highly recommend A Glass of….

  • Each one was delicious

    Really lovely wines, even been to one of the wineries previously. Over 1 glass in each pouch. We tried them as a wine tasting session between friends, and they were all delicious wines. No bad ones.
    Packaging is so easy and minimal. Also nice and portable. Quick to chill too.
    We checked out the prices of bottles and these were really good value for money. Great for those who don’t want to finish a whole bottle too. Will definitely be back for more here!

  • So bloody amazing

    Honestly this is the best idea by far. I like so many buy a bottle of wine have a glass and the rest sits in the fridge for a month, so a glass is perfect. If you want another it’s fine it’s a glass not a bottle

  • Loved the pouches and selection

    The selection was amazing, the rose was hands down my favourite and I loved getting to try and experience some beautiful Australian wines without having to purchase a whole bottle – feels less wasteful if I’m not a huge fan but to be honest even my least favourite of the selection I’d still gladly drink. The idea is fantastic and will be reccomending and purchasing in the future.

  • Rich, light and refreshing

    I tried 4 different wines from A GLASS OF, reading the description this wines are made by five of the best winemakers in the country and the taste speaks for itself. They are so rich, light and refreshing – fruity flavour, little natural acidity, subtle sweetness – they are packed with fun. My absolute favourite is Rose, even though I’m not a Rose person, this one is packed with fruity flavours and a tinge of acidity, mildly sweet and amazing. I give it 10/10 and would definitely be buying again.

    I would recommend A

I fondly remember slow, summer afternoons with family and friends gathered around a table of delicious finger-food during my childhood – the adults chatting and laughing, the kids pretending they understood the jokes. My parents had continued their Mediterranean traditions long after settling in Australia – and the simple joy of an effortlessly elegant gathering was one of my favourites.

What I don’t remember is my parents ever being stressed about the gatherings. It all just seemed to ‘come together’. Ah, how times have changed!

There’s something about the Italian style of entertaining that’s still so alluring in our fast-paced family lives. The idea of La Dolce Vita: a sweet life surrounded by family, friends, food and minimal fuss. Which is why we’ve enlisted the help of the entertaining experts at Sandhurst to share easy tips for elegant, memorable summer get-togethers.

We also asked our community of mums to share their tried and true, easy summer entertaining ideas, and we can’t wait to share them with you!

Euro-Inspired Entertaining

Sandhurst

Before we dive into the delicious world of sumptuous, simple summer entertaining, it helps to know a little about the inspiration behind our guide. And that’s the concept of Italian entertaining – where time is taken to lovingly grow ingredients, before enjoying them with those you love.

Established in 1988, Sandhurst was born from the time-honoured traditions of generations of the family behind the brand – a proud Italian Australian family passionate about quality produce sourced from world’s best growers.

At the helm of Sandhurst are brothers Mimmo and Ray Lubrano, who live and breathe the impeccable ingredients that become the centrepiece of so many gatherings in Australian family homes.

“Tradition is what we stand for. We’re custodians of Italian values,” explained Mimmo. “When we go to Italy we see it in our grandparents, our parents came from Italy in the 50s. The tradition is a set of values: honesty, teamwork, participation, family – all the things you would associate with Italian family are the values.”

And it’s these beautiful values that make summer gatherings in Australia an extension of the European table.

Easy Summer Entertaining Starts With … Time Saving Secrets!

Sandhurst

A sweet summer of entertaining doesn’t need to be stressful. In fact, it shouldn’t be. It’s a chance to spend time with loved ones. To press pause on life and make memories. And it can be simple! So here are some really easy tips for making your home the place where everyone wants to gather this summer.

Create An Entertaining Kit

Whether it’s pre-planned or you’ve had friends or family drop-in, having a few things ready to go immediately melts away any stress. Here are some things to include in a summer entertaining kit:

  • A red table cloth: It instantly says festive!
  • Some platters and serving dishes
  • Candles
  • Some quality antipasto ingredients that simply need to be decanted and enjoyed!

Many Hands Make Light Work

As mums, we tend to be our own worst enemy when it comes to delegating tasks. But remember, a summer of entertaining is about creating memories – not perfection. So let the kids help, and accept offers from your guests who’d like to bring something along to share.

“It can be overwhelming, so just delegate, and prepare. I do one dish prep per day and pop them in the freezer. Then they just need to be heated up. Let the kids do the decorating for you – plus keeps them busy!” – MoM Member Kirsty

Decorate With Happiness

There’s no need to pull out your finest crystal to pull off an elegant get together. Take a look around your home and garden to see what will bring your table to life. A bowl of lemons is a gorgeous addition, as is a bunch of gum leaves. Keep it simple and understated.

Finger Food For The Win

Nothing says simple summer elegance more than a charcuterie board (or three!). When my friends and our families get together, it’s our go-to – every family is asked to ‘bring a board’. Some do savoury and some sweet, so we’re covered for a long afternoon of catching up.

“Food wise, I keep it simple by doing cold deli meats, cheeses, fresh fruits and veggies.” – MoM Member

But just because boards are easy to put together, doesn’t mean they can’t ooze elegance. And that comes down to including quality ingredients. Choosing Sandhurst products is the easiest way to guarantee the highest quality ends up on your table. We love the premise behind the brand: from our family to yours – it invokes that nostalgic feeling of shared stories, history, gatherings and family.

How To Put Together A Charcuterie Board

There are no right or wrong ways to create a charcuterie board, but to ensure a balance of textures and flavours try to include:

La Dolce Vita!

A summer of sophisticated entertaining doesn’t have to be hours and hours of work. We don’t want it to be! By grabbing some beautiful ingredients to fill your pantry next time you’re shopping, you’ll know that at a moment’s notice you’ll have everything you need for a Euro-inspired gathering. No fuss, but plenty of substance and style!

  • I’ve really needed some inspiration this year for Christmas and this is great! I Love a good charcuterie board and I think I may do one this year for the family as well as all the regular Christmas trimmings. I have 6 kids and all the extended family coming to entertain and feed!

  • We often have homemade pizza nights aka fakeaway night! And my pizza is always on a low carb Pizza base with roasted and sundried tomato and capsicum. My fav combo with grilled chicken and a swirl of peri peri mayonnaise! Making our own is always better than takeaway versions and healthier!

  • Looked so good I couldn’t wait – Dove in off the end of my bread baton and swirled around in a couple of cheesy dips only to finish up at the Sandhurst stackers and sun-dried olives, who needs a Holiday when there is one in the kitchen, I can take any day.

  • I have been buying Sandhurst Kalamata Olives, Sandhurst Semi-Dried Tomatoes, Sandhurst Baby Capers, Sandhurst Sicilian Green Olives for years as our kitchen staple adding that extra flavours to our dishes. I buy Sandhurst products for Gift Baskets as presents for family and friends and they love this idea as I add a chopping board and a knife and crackers and cheese for a celebration of flavours.

  • I have been a purchaser of Sandhurst goods ever since they first appeared on supermarket shelves and still buy it to this day. The Sandhurst brand is the best without a doubt. This year I have not been able to find the Sandhurst cheese stuffed baby capsicums anywhere. I have tried to get on the Sandhurst site, but no luck with what they make. Help – these are such a wonderful addition to a salad.

  • I Love a good charcuterie board. I Love all the different options all on the one board. I love to do a chocolate board when we have guests over, it’s a fun way to do dessert after dinner. The kids love seeing everything layed out so they can pick and choose.

  • This is great for the grandchildren they love them as they use them as finger food and make up their own meal and use plenty of ingredients including meat and cheese on the dips and crackers. We keep it simple with the Sandhurst’s products as it is a meal in every jar and the kids love them.

  • This looks like the perfect relaxed way to have a picnic! I am loving the idea of this! Just bring along lots of fillings and plenty of cheeses and breads and of course a little alcohol and you’re all set. This sounds like the perfect way to catch up with friends!

  • Charcuterie boards are the absolute best! We do these so often in the warmer months because there’s something for the whole family. People pick and choose what they like and there’s no complaints because there’s so many different options to choose from, everyone is happy. It’s such a simple stressful way to make dinner.

  • I absolutely adore finger food and this style of feeding people when we have family and friends at our home; or when we go out for a picnic, bbq or get together. These types of food are so easy to source and to buy and to prepare and to happily eat.


    • Yes I agree, finger foods are easy and yummie ! And you can assemble a healthy enough plate (certainly when you add salads, cheeses, nuts, fruits, boiled eggs, olives and rustic breads) that it can certainly can replace a meal (either lunch or dinner). Everyone happy and no hours of preparation in the kitchen :)



      • Also; the other bonus is less mess to clean up when cutlery is not needed. Finger food is the best for laid back and relaxed get togethers. There is always such a clam and relaxed feel to a finger food meal without the need for any fancy and stuffy table settings.
