  • yummy

    I packed these into my kids lunchboxes for a surprise, they came home raving about them, how good they tasted, how they didn’t feel hungry after eating them, so they satisfied their hunger, good sized bar, and they asked for them again, at least i know it is better for them than some other bars.

  • Perfect snack!

    I absolutely love this as a lunchbox snack! It’s not as healthy as I would like, but it makes a great treat every now and again. I personally like to indulge in one or two every once in a while! I would definitely recommend these as a tasty lunchbox filler.

  • Loved by everyone!

    My family absolutely loved the Milo Oatie bars, we were very impressed with a healthier version to what is currently on the market, and a chocolate hit is great mid afternoon!

  • Yummy yummy yummy

    My family loved them, the 11yr old took them to school and she said they a so yummy and she is hard to find what she will eat, the only concern is in hot weather they might melt in the lunch box.
    The 1 1/2 yrs old enjoyed them and even cryed when he ate it all.
    My husband 34yr old and myself are on a diet and thought the bars were great for a yummy snack and had not much fat. We will be buying more and letting people how nice these are.

  • Absolutely loved the product and the taste

    All of my family ranging from 2 to 40 loved this product. My kids loved the flavour and only my 12 year old noticed that there were oats in it. They have requested these for their lunchboxes for school. Will definitely buy this product. They loved the chocolate flavour and texture of the bars

    Both boys tried them after school and they loved them. They asked I pack the bars for them for school and asked I pack some for their friends. They want to share and show off their bars.

  • Did not enjoy!

    I found the quality of the MILO Oatie Bar was just not there when compared to it’s other great product such as milo.
    As a family, we really didn’t enjoy the MILO Oatie Bar and think that it does not represent good value for money.
    The MILO Oatie Bar is not very pleasant tasting, and I did not finish eating my bar as I did not like it.
    I would not purchase this product again.

  • Disappointing!

    MILO Oatie Bar just does not do it for me and family. Not sure what I’m going to with the box I bought because no one in the family wants to eat them. Milo in general is such a tasty, delicious product, I’m surprised they couldn’t come up with a better tasting product. Very disappointed in the MILO Oatie Bar.

  • Milo

    I read the reviews of Milo Oatie Bars by Mom’s community members and I decided to buy them and get the family to taste test them. We tried them this morning and the verdict is: we like them! They do have a strong flavour compared to other similar bars; however it is a nice flavour. Would buy them again; still happy with Milo products!

  • Milo

    I read the reviews of Milo Oatie Bars by Mom’s community members and I decided to buy them and get the family to taste test them. They were easy to locate at the local shops and were also on special. I do love Milo products and hope these bars pass the taste test; as some of the reviews give the bars a poor review/rating.

  • Not very nice.

    I recently bought the MILO Oatie Bar with high expectations, I mean, how good is Milo? I was sadly disappointed. These bars were awful. Not even my kids, who usually buy into this sort of stuff were impressed. I won’t be buying MILO Oatie Bar again, unless they change their recipe. Not very nice.

  • Great snack for anyone, not just the kids!!

    I tried the milo oatie bars and now I’m hooked. They are a great snack to put in kids lunches, or to have after school, they taste great and even though they are a bit of a treat you are still getting the goodness of the wholegrains and Oates. They are also great snacks for adults on the go and anyone who loves milo will loves these.

  • Pretty disappointing.

    We usually love milo products here! Milo duo cereal, hot milos, the many teaspoons of milo mixed with milk,the milo yogurt and even the milo bars but these were just awful! Sickly sweet, tasted nothing like milo. Was sadly disappointed and will not be buying again! I took one bite and threw the rest of the bar out and my son spat out the bite he took. Pretty disappointing really but none the less I still love my other milo products. 🙂

  • Milo, family favourite with a lot to live up to

    Milo is a favourite in our family and we go through a huge amount, so I thought that these would be a favourite as well, but they were not well received in our home, the taste seemed bland, not the quality we have come to expect from Milo, and the kids hated them perhaps they have tried to make them healthy and my kids want something with choc chips LOL, I would not recommend them and certainly would not purchase them again as they were not popular at all, shame really because it is an iconic brand that has always been loved in our home.

  • not milo

    I bought these when first came out as we are huge huge huge Milo fans, we go threw a large tin every week and a 12 pack of Milo custards. I tried one as soon as I got in the door and it was not as expected, thought it would taste like a mile flavoured lcm kinda but it is dry, doesn’t taste like Milo at all, just like dry sweet chocolate. 2 of my children liked them other 2 didn’t, so don’t know if it comes down to different tastebuds or just they weren’t as fussy but they weren’t nice and was dissapointed. I def won’t buy them again. But that won’t stop me buying proper Milo 🙂 yum yum yum

  • get them on special

    i agree that these milo bars do not actually taste like milo but rather just very sweet. i think that my kids don’t mind these bars because they don’t get them a whole lot, only when they are on special and that doesn’t seem to be a lot. i think they are handy to have and think that you should eat these in moderation. they are made healthily and then have more sugar added. still worth a try and make your own opinion of these bars

  • Milo Let down

    The MILO Oatie Bars sound delicious but they are not. They do not taste like chocolatey Milo and instead are dry, overly sweet and not what I was expecting from a Milo branded product. The kids didn’t like them and wouldn’t finish the bars leaving me to try them. I wasn’t very happy having spent so much on a product that is not up to the Milo brand quality. Not healthy as full of sugar. Wouldn’t buy these again and don’t recommend.

  • Morning Tea Time Saver

    As i said below these bars are a great way to save time adding things to the kids bags for morning tea at school and preschool. I love that they have wholegrain and that they’re not overly sweet for the kids. I recently found a dairy selling these at a lower price than the market and think now i am buying at the right price, so i wouldn’t necessarily pay the rrp. Kids do love em and i love how handy they are in the cupboard as a quickie. Or when kids friends come over, i can cut some on a plate and put out alongside fruit.

  • Pleased I did not pay for them

    We were given a box off these to try, I have 3 kids and 1 bigger kid (husband)
    Not one of them liked these, said they tasted nothing like milo. The kids said they just tasted like sugar and not much else. Even though they have the oats in them I do not think the oats outweigh the amount of sugar in these. The kids are normally milo fans but said please don’t get them again

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 …”

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.
