  • great size packed with features

    my friend came over with her children for a cuppa and her children have one, they were nice enough to show us how it works, and let my children play with it for a while, i was impressed on the age range of the apps, there was something for everyone to do, what a fantastic device, looks like we might have to get one for Christmas.

  • the kurio funtime

    We loved the kurio tablet. As partmof my business the chikdren were fortunate enough to be given a lend of a tablet from moose. I never thought thye woukd get it back and I thought with 1 there would be loads of fighting over it but no. Lots of sharing.
    the only downside I believe is the cost. With 2 under 5 we were in need of entertainment for a big road trip. Had they have been around $150max we wouldn”t have hesitated abd brought 2 of them.

  • Looking forward to trying this one!

    I have purchased this for my 7 year old son for xmas. He asked for an Ipad or tablet from santa and after reading the reviews from other mums i decided this was the way to go. I’ll be back in the new year to let you know how it went!

  • Checking in again - 2 weeks later

    Our family has had the Kurio for two weeks now. And we had the opportunity to take it on the road last weekend as we went for a bit of a drive. The kids still love playing with the games and apps but an unexpected stand out for them has been the toddler jukebox. They have really been enjoying listening to the songs and singing along. I caught my three year old setting up the Kurio along side his drum last week so he could have a little karaoke session!
    We have really enjoyed this tablet, and while I am still a Mac person the Kurio will become the kids tablet, especially when we travel or have long appointments. Having separate log ins with different restrictions is probably the stand out feature of the Kurio.
    The only things I would want potential customers to be aware of is that the Kurio comes with a rubber bumper but no case (so the screen is not protected), having said that it would be simple to make or purchase a sleeve for the tablet. The battery life is also shorter than similar devices and it did not come with a car charger (although accessories are on their website and I hope Big W will also be stocking them).

  • Wonderful sturdy tablet.

    What a surprise to be chosen to review this product. I was very taken with just how funky it is and apealing to the eye. The games on it cover a wide range of ages. Am yet to download anything but have found it quite mum friendly so far!!! Have a friend with younger children so am waiting to give them a go to see how they like the games aimed at their ages. I am very taken with its all round appeal, with an affordable price to boot.

  • Not an ipad

    This is ok. It broke after a couple of months. I didn’t find it was great quality. These are not an ipad quality that’s for sure. You are not able to download everything and not as hardy. They are ok if you can’t afford an ipad but I would not recommend one. Save your money not worth it in my opinion. It’s a shame but I had to go out and purchase another brand that’s right you guessed it an ipad two years later it’s still going strong. Personally don’t waste your money. Nt for our family any way

    My granddaughters were given one of these for christmas presents, they just love them. They are very careful, and are teaching me to use one. I bought a similar product and they had to show me how to get to the apps and back. I am impressed by the security, that is so important with kids these days. Very good product.

  • Pretty average

    I bought 2 of these for my nieces, within a month I was having to return them to Big W for new ones, as they had completely stopped working, wouldn’t even turn on! They have limited capabilities and apps. I did like the idea of the parental controls though.

    U bought my own as it though having to entertain my son this may do the trick. Well it was perfect having him sit down for an hour or two just playing with this. Made dinner that much easier to have and going out too. Perfect for us.

  • Best Xmas Present for a 3 year old

    We brought this for my son for Christmas, we were a little unsure if it would be any good. But my son LOVES it, he loves the rage go apps and games and I like the fact its SAFE for the kids to play on and I know he won’t land on any sites I don’t want him to see!

    I would recommend this to other parents!

  • Fantastic. kept my two year old well entertained

    We mostly use it to entertain mister two at the doctors or when we go out to to lunch. Its been so handy. I love the parental control and that there is already so many preloaded apps. I find my unit does have some issues with it going flat rather quickly but its managed to last for the time we have needed it so far.

    my son has one and i find it helpful and educational for them to have this technology, he uses it on long journeys and while fun there are programs that help them bring literacy and numerous skills higher, clear interface, better quality than other androids, totally worth the purchase. 🙂

Article ‘A Beautiful Adelaide Blend With A Lighter Alcohol Content!’

‘A Beautiful Adelaide Blend With A Lighter Alcohol Content!’

For lighter wines that still taste like the real deal, Chapel Hill’s Enlightened range is quickly becoming a go-to. These bottles bring all the flavour with noticeably less alcohol, which is why everyone’s falling in love with them.

Best SIPS’ Chapel Hill Enlightened Wines review team put the Rosé and Pinot Grigio through their paces, and the feedback was unanimous: both are fresh, light and perfect for summer sipping without the unwanted morning crogginess.

A rosé with summer written all over it

Chapel Hill’s Enlightened Rosé is bright, crisp and fruity, hitting all the right notes without tipping into the “too sweet” zone. It’s the kind of bottle you reach for at a casual barbecue or any get-together where you want something delicious but easygoing.

It’s exactly this balance of lightness and full flavour in an affordable bottle that has so many fans raving.

“Light, refreshing and honestly just feels like a little moment of peace in a glass. The flavour is this perfect mix of crisp + fruity without being too sweet — literally the kind of rosé you can sip while you finally sit down after a long day.”

Women trying Chapel Hill Enlightened Rosé.
A summer staple … on the lighter side

“Too many of these low alcohol wines just don’t taste enough like the real deal-but this is a sure fire exception. Beautifully refreshing, with a touch of sweetness that’s not overwhelming. A gorgeous colour too, which is a bonus- after all, we also drink either our eyes! Add into the mix a reasonable price point- this rose is a winner!”

“I love a nice glass of Rosé and the Chapel Hill Enlightened Rosé did not disappoint! It’s really light and refreshing and tastes like a really expensive wine. I love that this wine is really affordable, so I can enjoy a beautiful Rosé without breaking the bank more often. Definitely give this one a try!”

If your warm-weather wine rack needs an affordable new staple, this is it.

A Pinot Grigio you’ll be buying again (and again!)

For the white lovers, Chapel Hill’s Enlightened Pinot Grigio is a solid everyday white that ticks all the boxes: crisp, clean, food-friendly and affordable.

Our taste-testers repeatedly praised how balanced and versatile it feels, whether chilled on its own or alongside simple meals and casual gatherings.

“We love a white to pair with our spring/summer lunches and especially our seafood. This option ticked all the boxes …”

Bottle of Chapel Hill Enlightened Pinot Grigio with two full glasses.
A versatile sip you’ll keep reaching for

“I enjoyed the first sip to the last of this Pinot. Anything with pear and citrus is something I want to try and this lived up to that, but with a lighter alcohol content – which I appreciate! Enjoyed over dinner, it paired really nicely with the food I was eating. This wine is something I’d happily recommend to others.”

“The wine offered just the right balance of fruity flavours – fresh and vibrant, but never overpowering or too sharp. It paired beautifully with both our light lunches and dinner, making every meal feel a bit more special. I also appreciated how crisp and refreshing it tasted, perfect for unwinding and enjoying good company. Definitely a Pinot Grigio I’d reach for again.”

Your lower-alcohol go-to

The team rates Enlightened wines 4.34 out of 5 and recommends them for anyone on the hunt for flavour-forward wine with less alcohol. They’re bright, modern and made for the kind of moments where you’d love a glass, but still want to feel good afterwards.

Find Chapel Hill Enlightened at Dan Murphy’s right now for $17.99 each.

  • The warmer weather tends to make alcohol go to my head faster – I’m not a big drinker, but just for that reason I’d seriously consider a low alcohol wine. The Pinot Grigio particularly sound as if I might enjoy it. I might well buy a bottle or two for Christmas.

    Reply

  • Looks delicious, would be keen to try their wines based off the reviews. Love anything local and the light wine is just an extra win – low alcohol content would be fab for nights with friends where we all still have to drive home afterwards so would be buying for that type of event!

    Reply

  • Chapel Hill Wines do have quite a good reputation. I like the fact that it is low alcohol content. Personally, I like a very sweet wine but many would like these as they are not so sweet. I wish them well with sales and think it’s good they are doing something about lowering alcohol level.

    Reply

  • Thanks for sharing this review. It sounds that the taste is good, the price is good and the alcohol content is really low indeed. I do like the fact that they’re light. One of the things I don’t like when you’re drinking a couple of glasses that it fills you up and it affects your appetite

    Reply

  • I appreciate all the reviews and think this is an excellent way to get your brand out there and known.

    Reply

  • I like the sound of the Pinot Grigio and will look out for it next time I’m at the bottle shop.

    Reply

  • I just asked the forum for recommendations on zero alcohol, but this is an attractive option as well! I do enjoy a Rose, so will try this one after all the positive reviews. It’s a shame they don’t have a sparkling in their collection yet! Would have been prefect for all the celebrating at this time of year.

    Reply

  • I dislike rose, but the pinot grigio sounds like it might suit me. To be honest, the alcohol content doesn’t bother me all that much – I rarely drink more than a glass or two anyway – but it would probably be nice from a general health point of view to know I’m consuming less alcohol.

    Reply

  • This sounds like the perfect glass. I do love being able to have a few drinks and not be all over the place about me. And as a bubbly girlie from Adelaide myself, I’m sure I’ll find a lot to like about this drop. Crisp and not too sweet, I’m sold and will have to try it.

    Reply

  • It was the first time for me hearing about the chapel hill brand. And i still recall when i picked up the Pinot Grigio from my local, the staff there actually stopped me and said i picked a winner! She said that it was probably the best Pinot they had available to sell.

    Reply

  • I’ve heard a lot of good things about Chapel Hill wines and the reviews are always good. I like that they have low alcohol range as I like to have a few glasses when I finally get to have one. Not being too sweet is a bonus that suits me well.

    Reply

  • The idea of having a lower alcohol content wine without compromising taste is really exciting. There’s nothing worse than feeling “under the weather” from the effects of alcohol. This lovely wine ticks all the boxes, lower alcohol and a refreshing flavour. I’m keen to get the Pinot Grigio in my cart and into my fridge!

    Reply

  • This wine sounds delightful and really refreshing to enjoy on a summer afternoon. I love that it tastes fresh and crisp and still has the same punch as other wine. It sounds like an absolute delight. I will have to give it a try next time i am at the bottle shop looking for some wine.
