  • Optus

    I have purchased my granddaughter a Optus prepaid phone and sim for a reward gift. I love the idea that the amount of messages she can have and the value this sim has to offer. I only purchase update monthly and it is easy to purchase and very convenient it is also flexible and can be used for the whole family. I know I can purchase and forget it for a year with no worries. No I don’t like Selfies.

  • Great value

    I actually have this for myself! I am not a big phone user so a plan is too expensive at minimum $30 a month when I only call when needed. Now I have unlimited calls & 60gb data which is plenty for what I do. When my daughters get a phone this is the plan I will get for them also as great value for money.

  • WE BOUGHT IT!

    We trialed the Optus prepaid SIM for my son and found it to be extremely cost effective as well as convenient. During the trial we had many conversations about the prepaid sim as well as the features included in it and because of how much we loved it my sister ended up purchasing two of the prepaid sim plans for my nephews as well! It gives great peace of mind to know that for a whole year the credit won’t run out and the kids will be able to be contacted.

  • Perfect for teenagers

    With a child in their first year of high school and making their way there and back, I was looking for a cheap way to keep in contact without having to pay a monthly contract fee. The Optus Epic Value Plan does just that! It means I know she will always be able to ring or text me and vice versa. It also has enough data for her to check key things like bus/train times when she is out and about. Perfect.

  • THIS SIM REALLY IS EPIC VALUE

    My 13 year old teen Chloe and I got the opportunity to review the new Optus 60GB sim and we are both so impressed! It’s so nice to have the peace of mind when she is out with her friends that she can contact us whenever she needs to without having to worry about data or credit on her phone constantly.
    With the 365 day expiry she is also not pressured to use the data in a short time frame which works well for our family as we do have strict screen time hours in our house.
    This is an absolute winner for any parents with teenage kids!

    The Optus $180 Prepaid SIM is great value for money. A whole year of unlimited calls and text and 60GB data means no stress of large monthly bills. It was really easy to set up and I had it working within minutes. My daughter is so excited to trial it.

  • Great value for money

    Optus pre paid SIM epic value plan is by far one of the best out there for teens. Optus has massive coverage Australia wide so you won’t hit any blank spots and be unable to use your phone. Great for teenagers, and the price makes it great for mum and dad. Easy to use. And no lock in contract, that option is the best! So we can use it while we need it and stop when we don’t. Highly recommend to all

  • Daughter trialled bought for my son too!

    I actually let my daughter trial this product because she has been nagging me about getting a better credit plan for a year or so now and I was going to get her one soon anyway. But because of how much she loved it and how cost effective it is, I bought my son this plan too and he loves it too!

    The amount of data and credit you get for a plan of this price is ridiculously good! My daughter loves this plan and is so grateful that she got a shot at trialling it because it is so useful for her and it is a fast and efficient plan too in terms of the data portion.

  • Setup so simple

    I was really easy to setup the mobile phone sim. Came with a tool to open the back of the mobile to change sim cards. My son installed it in a matter of minutes with the phone operating as usual. Just follow the prompts on the phone. Anyone can do it.

  • Loving the freedom of unlimited texts and calls!

    So far my son and i are loving this Optus Prepaid Sim. We found it extremely easy to set up which was fantastic as we are a busy family constantly running around to sport or other commitments. My son was over the moon when i told him he could finally have his first phone and it put my mind at ease to know that he would be able to text or call me at any time without the worry of him running out of credit. The convince of this prepaid SIM is second to none. I haven’t heard of any other companies that offer a product like this and i find it to be working so well at the moment.

  • Loves his new Optus prepaid sim

    My son is loving being able to chat to his mates without me telling at him to stop or he will use all of his credit.
    His Nan and Pop are travelling Australia and now he gets to ring them and chat for as long as he wants with the unlimited talk and text.
    As you can see from the pic his phone is almost as good as ice cream!!
    This plan is EPIC and he agrees! A happy teenager is a happy household.

  • Best valued prepaid plan

    What value for money!
    My son is loving his new Optus prepaid mobile sim plan.
    We dont have to worry about recharging and it’s great that credits don’t expire and require you recharge every month in order to keep that plan.
    We live rural and have no issues with reception. He calls me after school and we don’t have to worry about talking too long and using up all of his credit.
    Great plan, very happy.

  • A Pleasant surprise on value

    When I received the Optus Prepaid SIM, I found setting it up very easy, and I’m not very tech savy. I at first thought $180.00 what a lot of money, until I started to see the real value. I love the liberation the Optus plan allows, it lasts 365days to use. I like to check how much data I had used and was able to type a text to allow an update of how much I had actually used. To my surprise I had so much still available. The $180 shows the real value when you consider the phone calls, texts and data roaming I have done. This allows my son to keep in contact with me when Im out running. Well done Optus, and thanks MOM’s for this opportunity.

    The Optus Prepaid SIM was really easy to set up. Within a few minutes, we had my daughters phone up and running. It is a great deal that my daughter is excited to test. I love the freedom of this plan and I love that it lasts a whole year.

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.
