UNBOXT
Our founder, Sarah, has a plan. She wants to make house wine simple, exceptional and exactly the way you want it. Every single time. We’re not about the best label, or the most popular varietal. We’re all about taking the labels away so you can revel in liking what you like. Life is wonderful, but it’s also busy and full of decisions and hassles. Wine should not be one of them.
We are busting the wine myths (think bottles, corks, varietals, winespeak, trends) and just talking about the joys of a fabulous glass of wine, poured from the tap in your own home. We tend to think about wine differently than everyone else and we think about it a lot. We also enjoy it a lot – in the bath, in the backyard (because no one goes anywhere anymore) in our kitchen, while we cook, while we read, while we eat.
You can read our origin story and our manifesto here. That’s not what this space is about. This space is about play. About bringing all the things we love and learn about wine and ways to enjoy it, into one space where you can visit and wander around. Find something you like and let us know what you think. This is the space where we get to connect with you, because wine is more fun with friends.
