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.
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.

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.

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!

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 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.

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….

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!

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

How to choose the best lunch box for school
When you’re searching for a kids’ lunch box, take the time to work out what will best suit their needs. If you make the right choice and invest in a quality one, it will last many years.
Box, bento or bag? If your child doesn’t like different foods touching, a bento lunch box is a great choice. Also, think about whether they prefer cut-up or whole fruit; a bento is better suited to cut food, while bags and boxes suit whole fruit. Bags are fantastic if you like to pack separate containers, like smaller bento or snack containers.
Freshness is a must – An insulated bag or box will keep everything cool and fresh until snack and lunchtime. But you can also get boxes that come with cold and ice packs. Remember, kids’ lunches often sit at room temperature for up to 5 or 6 hours before they’re eaten, so insulation and coolness are important. Check out how to keep school lunches safe in the heat.
Easy-to-clean design – Check if the box is dishwasher-safe, or for lunch bags, if they’re machine-washable.
Leak-proof – The last thing you want is a soggy mess at lunchtime, so if buying a hard lunch box, look for designs that are leak-proof with proper seals.
Child-friendly – Depending on your child’s motor skills and independence, you may need to start with a product that’s simple to open and close.
The right size – We tend to pack way too much in our kids’ lunches, so think about how much realistically you’ll need to pack for your child when choosing the size of their lunch box. You may also need to consider the size of their school bags.

After something a bit more mature? Bentgo’s Modern lunch boxes are a great option. They have a sleek matte finish in a choice of four stylish shades, including Mint Green, Orchid, Dark Grey and Navy. Each is cleverly designed with a removable divider that allows you to choose between using three or four compartments. Even better, they are leak-proof, microwave-safe and fine to pop in the dishwasher.
Colourful and easy to carry, these bags are insulated, eco-friendly and secure. It features aluminium foil lining that keeps food fresh all day long, and it comes with top-level carry handles and a shoulder strap, which is brilliant for those days when kids have a lot to tote.

Practical and customisable with your child’s name, these insulated bags tick all the boxes.

Each comes with a mesh pocket for ice bricks, a top carry handle, a secure zip closure and enough internal space to fit a medium bento box.

Internal mesh pocket for an ice brick
With their name on it, you won’t need to visit lost property!
With a leak-proof silicone seal, these colourful lunch companions keep sauces and dips right where they belong.

Finally, a kids’ lunch box that stores hot AND cold food in one place! Designed out of necessity by a problem-solving mum, the OmieBox encourages low-waste lunches and ends the need to use multiple clunky containers (which always get lost!). The spill-proof individual compartments mean no mixing of savoury and sweet, and the 280ml double-wall thermos keeps soups and pasta hot for up to six hours!
Health professionals agree that kids need a good balance of lean protein, grains, fruit and vegetables throughout the school day. Skip the processed food and try to reach for whole foods that pack a punch in the nutrient department. Here are some great ideas:
Grilled chicken or turkey wraps with fresh salad
Crackers and vegetable sticks with healthy dips like hummus
Whole-grain pasta with cherry tomatoes and your choice of cheese
Zucchini slice cut into rectangles for easy stacking in an insulated box
That lunchbox comparison table is handy to have. It helped me make a decision on which lunchbox to buy next for my daughter who is starting kindergarten. I needed to upgrade her lunchbox but wasn’t sure which way to go. The table helped me with my decision. I ended up going with the BBOX and have found a cheaper lunch bag from a department store that it fits in.
I do not know if anyone else has picked up on this or not, but every bag mentioned in the table above is a ‘designer’ brand. There are plenty of more affordable options that aren’t over $40. I have never spent that much on a lunchbox – even from Smiggle. The cheaper brands last just as well too.
Getting ready for the return to school has started to kick in so this was a timely read. We have the yum box and i love it, it is so easy for my daughter to open and close on her own. I find the lunch cooler bags also a great idea however some days depending on what else needs to go to school, they can be quite bulky to include in the school bag. I need to do some more research this year as i like the idea of being able to watch it in the washing machine, that is a clever idea.
Along with all of the other back to school products; there is also a good range of lunch boxes available for people to buy. It has been fun to see the wide range of bottles and lunch boxes that are available for the new year for school and for work.
Lunch boxes have come such a long way since my eldest was a kid, he’s now 26! There’s really a solution to everything from food heating, cooling, dividers, pockets etc etc. Lunch boxes are a real fashion accessory and so on-trend these days. I personally love the Bento lunch boxes. They save on plastic and separate different foods.
I am such a huge fan of Bento lunch boxes and Bento. Food should be so many wonderful things; including delicious, fun, colourful and nutritious too. Lunch is a favourite meal because the body is ready for some more calories and a boost of energy. Food looks so good in Bento lunch boxes.
So so many fantastic options! We use the montii co ones for our kdis and swear by it. Its lasted 3 years so far and still standing strong, like new since the first day using it. They are so durable and i find cleaning them to be the easiest for us.
There are so many great lunch box option out there indeed ! I’ve always liked the Bento style lunch boxes for my kids. It reduces the use of plastic lunch bags and packaged food which aren’t very good for the environment and it encourages to present a good variety of foods (which is not only better nutrition wise but lao to prevent our kids from getting bored with same foods all the time.
There are some really fabulous options here. So many variations of colour, shape and size. I love the bento style lunch boxes, so handy to keep food separate and eliminate the use of plastic packaging. The machine washable bags are a great idea too. They can get grubby so fast, this would be so much easier to maintain
This has gotten much easier since my kids hit high school – they have strong opinions about their lunch boxes, so I don’t have to think about it so much anymore! However, I am strongly in favor of bento style boxes regardless of their age. They’re easy to clean, easy to pack, and invite appropriate sized portions.
Great article! Our kids are so lucky, when it comes to lunchboxes, they really are spoilt for choice. There are so many to pick from. Regarding sandwiches, my eldest son, used to hate sandwiches for school lunches. It wasn’t until many years later that I discovered that he’d throw out his sandwiches in the playground bins. My son’s an adult now and he still hates sandwiches. He only likes “hot” lunches. So glad he lives on his own now and can make his own “hot” lunches just the way he likes them.
This is an extremely useful article!! 2 schppl going kids and third starting kinder soon means we are always on the lookout for lunch ideas and lunch boxes. This is a great list with features and prices listed to make the search easier and help with decision making for purchasing of the lunch boxes
This is super useful article and thank you. I can see so variety of lunch boxes from every store. Always wonder which one would be more convenient to use by little hands. I love some of these lunchboxes to give it a try for this year. And then decide to go with suitable ones
Wow, lunch boxes have really come such a long way from when I was taking a lunch box to school. Feel old, like “back in my day”, but we were lucky to have options like are available now. While I like some of these designs, I feel like they aren’t super practical.
These lunchboxes are beautiful but are they really worth the expensive price tag? I have been through so many lunch boxes and bags over the years and found the best it to use an insulated lunchbox bag with ice brick and use small containers to keep individual items fresh and assessable.
I love the bbox lunch boxes. They are so reliable and tough when kids throw their bags around. Easy to wash and store. I have used the we can be tiny snackies at home too. The boys love choosing a certain animal shape. They wash well, are durable and great quality.
My kids are old enough now to pack their own lunches and I am so happy to see the great choices they are making. They take left over meals, cook food in the morning to take and now I am confident they aren’t throwing away sandwiches! I do have the chilly bags for them, I find they fit better into bags
My daughter uses a bento box now for work and sometimes an insulated bag in summer, but when she was at school it was a rectangular lunch box with no compartments. It was very easy to wash each day, just the box and lid, and it could still be filled with rolls/sandwiches and snacks.
Lunchboxes are so important these days. Back in my day it was a brown paper bag or the exact same lunch box that everyone else had and there were three compartments. Today its such a fashion statement and as much as the lunchbox itself is judged so are the contents.
