  • Just as good as bardot junior

    This is one of my favourite store that I love shopping at for my daughter. At one stage I bought every girls cardigan they had and not only is affordable but it comes with cute price tags. There was an animal print pant they had at bardot junior that costed around $60 but I found a similar pair that almost looked identical at the kidstore for $20 you’ll find so many good stuff

  • kids store web site

    when looking around the kids store web site there were very limited items for you to have a look at before going into there store 2 dresses for girls along with a swim set baby’s were one set and boys were limited to i be leave they would benefit if they were to expand what they advertise on there web site this would encourage people to check there store out. if they were to add more products on there site and have a person on there where you could mix and match clothes on them this would be great and when you go to the store you would have a fair idea of what you are going to purchase i really enjoyed my review experience and loved having the chance to view the kidsclothes store i will be recommending this store to friends and id happliy go back and shop there again

  • Great quality reasonably priced.

    I would have loved this review! I love Kidstore clothes, they’re excellent quality, reasonably priced and they have pieces that are just a little bit different. Their sizing is spot on and their sales are great too. The clothes we do own have washed and worn well. Highly recommend although my experience with sales staff is that they very eager.

  • So cute and funky

    I love The Kidstore. I went in there quite by accident one day and it was one of my best mistakes. They have a great range of funky clothing without being trashy and too over the top for little ones. They also have a great range of non toy gifts. We have purchased many a present at The Kidstore.

  • was sad to see fountain gate store close

    I worked across from the the store at fountain gate and I loved the clothes that they had. Great quality and beautiful colours. The only downside to this store was it’s price. It was more expensive at times than bardot kids or pumpkin patch but although their clothes are great they aren’t of the quality of those stores. In saying that I did find quite a few cheaper things there and miss the brightness that the store brought to the centre.

  • Out of my price range

    I didn’t get chosen for this but found The Kid Store very expensive so whilst I didn’t buy clothing which I must say looked of good & high quality I bought 2 little dolls for my 2 nephews so hopefully they will like them. There were some items on sale but nothing stood out & still too dear for my budget 🙂

  • Hit and Miss

    As the title states. I have been able to find a few great items for a reasonable price, but most items are over-priced and do not look or feel that great. I would even go as far as saying some pieces of clothing look like they have way too much frills and print on them that they look cheap.

  • poor

    My daughter got given some tee shirts from the kidstore it was cute but after the first wash it stretched out of shape marks on the shirt that i can get off other clothing of my daughters didn’t come out, Also colour faded after one wash . Also i find it on the expensive side the material is quite thin and the clothing has quite a funny smell to it and you can smell it when you go in the store it smells almost of some like a chemical in the clothes. Sorry but compared to other stores it is on the expensive side considering the quality

    I love the style in the kidstore.. but for me on a strict budget.. its out of my price range which is a shame because not many stores have a variety for boys.. if I had money most definitly would shop here all the time.. I cant justify spending 60 dollarsuick

  • Kidstore in Mornington is THE BEST

    I love the Kids Store. I bought all my babies clothes there and they were so lovely and such great qualitiy. After many many washews, they kept not only their shape but also their vibrant colour. I also love the designs. I find them old fashioned yet modern at the same time.

  • Quality of clothes are excellent!

    This is a follow up review for the Kidstore.
    After a few months of wear, the shirts I bought for my toddler are as good as new. The prints have started bright and not even begun to fade, although I do take care to dry inside out. They haven’t lost their shape at all and still fits perfectly.
    If they can put up with a toddler at childcare, I would recommend their clothes to anyone who likes their clothes to last!

  • Affordable

    I purchased three gorgeous jackets for bub from The Kidstore, and i love them all. I’ve received so many compliments for them every time bubs wears them. Also, even after going into the wash a few times they still maintained their quality which is fantastic as i know that bub can wear them over and over especially with winter coming.

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.
