Wine and Customer Service Comments:
Wine has been great. Only one person has complained. They stated the cabernet was tarty. I personally have tried all reds/Classic White/Unwooded Chardonnay/Frontignac. Great value! My folks in Queensland have ordered 3 cases including the Reserve Shiraz (already drank 8 bottles in 4 days). Their friends are about to order a case through my folks (bl**dy Airlie
Beach retirees, living the good life). Jane has been very helpful.

Cleanskins.com sets itself apart from other Internet cleanskin retailers with its one low price of $9 per bottle and a limited choice of five types sourced from small vineyards in the Barossa Valley, Clare Valley, McLaren Vale, Coonawarra and Margaret River...

We found the delivery to be prompt and efficient...and the wine was top notch. All up, cleanskins.com takes the guesswork out of choosing a good wine, removes the pressure to buy that is often associated with wine clubs and offers competitive buying in a convenient way.

cleanskins.com is proof that you don't have to pay top dollar for quality wine. This product is excellent value for money and delivery is prompt. It also takes the risk out of buying budget wine at the bottleshop because you know you're getting quality wine at a budget price. Cleanskins.com is a treat for your palate and your wallet.

Cleanskin wines sell for 50-70% less than labelled bottles "Wine producers often have more wine than they have labels. The leftover (unlabeled) bottles may be sold by the case as 'Cleanskins' at considerable discounts.. "

As I know very little about wine, I just know what I like and the Merlot is sensational. I cracked a couple of bottles at Friday Night Drinks at work and it was very well received.

The Cabernet Merlot blend was "a very nice drop" as the saying goes. I would place it in the A$18.00 to A$28.00 range compared with local bottleshop prices. Thanks for your interest and newsletter.

If you live in Brisbane this article called "101 ways to save" was published on SAT 14 JUN 2003. cleanskins.com was number 36.

34. Cheap fish and seafood: The Brisbane Fish Market at Colmslie now has a retail outlet. You don't need to buy in bulk, and you will save. Best buys vary, but savings can be as much as $10 a kilo. On this day, cooked Chinese pearl prawns were being knocked out at $16.50kg; frozen new season green banana prawns (suitable for stir fries etc) $10kg; sand crabs just $5.50 each. Raptis Fish Markets: 90 Colmslie Road, Colmslie 4170. Tel: (07) 3249 7800. Or try the stall at the Farmer's Market at South Bank first and third Saturday of each month. www.raptis.com.au.

35. Cut price organic produce: The Biological Farmers Association says consumers save up to 25 per cent by buying organic produce from markets rather than shops. Brisbane options include Northey Street Market, Northey St, Windsor, Saturday 6am-10am www.brisbaneorganicmarket.com and Mondo Organics Market, each Saturday at Hardgrave St West End 7.30am to noon.

36. Cheap wine: Consider cleanskins. Cleanskins are wines without labels and many come from top wineries. The firm www.cleanskins.com offers... might be worth a punt. There's also a money-back guarantee.

37. Cellar door bargains: When buying wines at the cellar door the same bottle can often be found cheaper at the bottle shop. The big chains tend to bargain hard, squeezing value from suppliers.

38. Cheaper supermarket bills: Avoid pre-packaged and processed foods. Unless you're earning mega bucks and your time is worth it, it makes good sense to invest in a salad spinner and wash your own lettuce, and chop your own vegies. Don't believe it? Compare prices of packaged and non-packaged goods by weight. The difference will surprise you. On this day, pre-packed bagged rocket leaves were selling at Coles for $3.49 for 70g. Loose leaves cost $15.99 a kilo.

39. Cheaper meat: The Brisbane Meat Market at Rocklea offers low prices for meat bought in bulk, such as chicken breast, $6.99/kg (over 5kg). It also has regular specials. On this day, fillet steak was on offer at a low $13.99/kg. Brisbane Markets, Sherwood Rd, Rocklea.

Sampled my first bottle last Friday night with 4 friends. We were all very impressed by this smooth, easy drinking shiraz. General consensus was that its quality was more in line with what you would expect of a $20+rrp bottle. Orders on the way!

I heard of you through work ... and am enjoying the 2002 Barossa Shiraz... Great service and a good value wine in my opinion - not the disappointment of some cleanskins I've tried.

Wine is excellent! A bit too tempting having all those bottles of wine on hand when I get home each night. You have won a customer in me!!

I was very impressed with the wine and the level of service I received from Cleanskins. I do not claim to be a wine expert but I do know what I like. This Shiraz is a beautiful drop indeed.

Cleanskins.com has changed our wine drinking habits. I buy label wine via two other sources and I've got a cupboard full. It's funny, if my wife wants wine with dinner, she goes to the cupboard where there is plenty of choice and most times she comes back with a cleanskin. You know what?... I'm never disappointed with her selection.

I was really pleased my order arrived so quickly and I love the wine. I ordered the sparkling and I think its a really special wine. No doubt you will hearing from me soon with another order. I have also been telling anyone who will listen about cleanskins and the quality of the wine.

Comments:
The wine arrived safe and sound and my parents are enjoying it. I live in London and found your site on the Internet and sent a carton to my parents for my Mum's birthday. According to Dad, the chardonnay is mild but refreshing, the red is very tasty … and it was a good choice. Great price, especially including delivery. I think they will order from you in the future!

Name: Craig Marshman, SA

Wine Variety: Cabernet Merlot

Comments:

The wine arrived quicker than I was expecting, probably helped by being in the same state as its origin.

The wine is very good, it has a ‘spicy’ characteristic to it & its very easy drinking. Being from the Barossa it is slightly ‘heavier’ than other Cab Merlots I have tried from other regions, but this is not a problem as I am used to the Barossa style of reds.

I am pleased with the wine as I actually purchased it because we are having Xmas at our place this year with 20+ people. I have tried some cleanskins from our local wine shop in the past & have been disappointed at the variability in quality (i.e. they are cheap for a reason!).

I have also recommended your site to a few of our friends.

Title: A good drop without the Label

Article:

When it comes to wine tasting, the swirling, sniffing, sipping and spitting are all part of the decadent experience.
But then again some wines are simply too good to spit out -- that's the way it is with some cleanskins.
Whether you're after a good quaffer or a top drop to impress dinner party guests, these mystery bottles offer some of the best wine in the country at a budget price. In the past, cleanskins have only been available in boutique bottle shops, particularly down south where yuppies keep the market competitive. However, ask around and you soon learn that the quality can be variable and the choice often bewildering.
While Townsville has a reputation for lagging the southern city trends, one cleanskins merchant has found Queenslanders to be the driving force for his business.
Not to be confused with the generic term `cleanskins' (which means any wine bottled without a label), the wine from cleanskins.com is guaranteed to be a fine drop, and it's in demand.
Company manager James Horne is a self-confessed wine buff.
``I wouldn't call myself an expert but I definitely like a good wine,'' he said.
He said while good wine had been sought after for centuries, the demand for cleanskins was a more recent phenomenon, with Internet marketing the most recent trend.
Launched barely a year ago, cleanskins.com is now a thriving business.
"It's just gone crazy, mostly in Queensland',' James said.
The reason Queenslanders are embracing cleanskins.com is a mystery, but an educated guess would be the lack of boutique bottleshops and retail outlets for such gems.
Cleanskins.com sets itself apart from other Internet cleanskin retailers with its one low price of $9 per bottle and a limited choice of five types sourced from small vineyards in the Barossa Valley, Clare Valley, McLaren Vale, Coonawarra and Margaret River.
All the guesswork is removed. Wine experts have chosen the cream of the Aussie crop, all you have to do is decide whether it's Shiraz, Cab Merlot, Bubbly or Chardonnay you want.
The cleanskin.com deal is this: you pay as little as $109 for one red, white, bubbly or mixed dozen which is delivered to your door within two weeks - that's it.
We found the service to be prompt and efficient, with delivery in less than one week, and the wine was top notch.
All up, cleanskins.com takes the guesswork out of choosing a good wine, removes the pressure to buy that is often associated with wine clubs and offers competitive buying in a convenient way.
For more information log on to www.cleanskins.com and those from North Queensland who join the free mailing list will go into the draw for a free case of wine.

Comments:

I tip my hat to your selection panel. I recently ordered and tasted cases of dry white, shiraz and sparkling. All superb, but I would especially like to point out the sparkling. The tiny bubbles and malty taste, I would suggest it was methode champonoise, and for less than $10/bottle.
