It’s no secret that alcohol is expensive in Ireland, wine in particular carries heavy import costs – In fact, in Ireland we pay the highest excise duty and VAT on wine in Europe; €3.20 per bottle for still, €6.40 per bottle for sparkling. Add in VAT at 23%, plus high shipping costs, and the landed cost per bottle quickly becomes eye wateringly over inflated.
We do our best to keep retail prices as fair as possible so you can still enjoy great SA wine here in Ireland.
A phrase coined by the famous Archbishop, Desmond Tutu. The Rainbow Nation refers to South Africa's diversity of people, but it has other significant meanings too. For us it means hope, vibrancy and excitement. We wanted to align our business with the modern-day winemakers of the Cape, who employ people from many different backgrounds and ethnicities, and who are fiercely resilient during challenging times, as well as excited and hopeful for the wine industry in this wonderful region.
