I know that every country has their own version of super big chains of alcohol outlets. My post to day is sharing Australia's own unique brand called Dan Murphy's. I just happen to need a bottle of white wine for dinner tonight and so had a lovely shopping venture to the local Dan Murphy's located 10 kilometres up the road in a little seaside town called Coolum.
Since it is #marketFriday I took extra time to take some pics to show you the width and breathe of the merchandise, starting with the white wine section.
There is a very wide range on the selves to suit all tastes. I really like Krondorf Reisling, it is a very drinkable dry wine at only $19 a bottle from the Barossa Valley in the Adelaides Hills in South Australia.
.
Another really pleasant favourite of mine is Mitchell riesling that hails from the Claire Valley which is also a winery located in South Australia with a price of approximately $20 a bottle.
Dan Murphy also imports wine such as Dopff Reisling from au Moulin Alsace in France and is a lovely tasting wine as well.
Dan Murphy boasts of a very wide selection of red wines for the red wine drinkers. They of course range in quality and price. This bottle of red, a Bush Vine Grenache is grown and corked in Mclaren Vale, the Barossa Valley in South Australia. Many Australian and overseas travellers come to South Australia specifically for the purpose of visiting the many wineries in this State.
One is never disappointed with the variety of beer on sale at Dan's. Here is a popular 'Alcoholic Ginger Beer' that is brewed in Broome located in Western Australia's Kimberley region. It is a beer that has grown in popularity of late. The young men in the family enjoy this type of beer.
Distilling gin has become very popular with many boutique gin distilleries popping up across the country. Ink gin is a favourite, a smooth gin that changes to the colour of pink when tonic or soda water is poured over the gin.
I always check out French champagne or Australian bubbles and proseco/ Italian Prosecco. it is good to have a some bottles chilling one the wine rack in the fridge for a toasting occasion that pops up unexpectedly now and then.
Dan Murphy accommodates all shoppers, including the ones who are buying on the way to a parties and want to take some munchies along with their choice of drink. The marketing department have thought of all special tastes.
Not only that Dan encourages gift buying, yes it is all here at this super alcohol store, and can be bought on the way to the celebratory party. So convenient for busy people.
I completely understand the incredible attraction Dan Murphy has for the everyday Australian. I am one Australia who visits any enjoys this store for the odd bottle of wine and carton or six pack of beer. It was one if not the most popular stores for Australians during the covid lockdown last year.
Although I also buy online from winery cellar doors it is so very convenient easy to drive up the road for that odd bottle. And anyway it is #marketFriday along with a rhyme that has been playing overtime in my head.
To market, to market
to buy a bottle of wine
Home again home again
to sip while we dine.
Cheers and thank you for dropping by to read my post.
ooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooo
I did buy a six pack of beer called Furphy. It is brewed in the state of Victoria and has a most entertaining television ad. I have downloaded it from youtube for a laugh. It is a 'beauty'; I do wonder if the ad encourages people to buy the beer?
Some beautiful wines there @angiemitchell ,thank you for taking me on a tour of wine. Nothing better than a good bottle of wine and good company. Thanks for sharing, really enjoyed your post.
Good morning @artywink, I have reached the age that only good wines is for me. Doo you have a similar big 'drinks' store as Dan's in your part of the US?
I am in South Africa @angiemitchell yes we have some lovely wineries here in South Africa especially in the Western Cape, I love a good red wine, just to lovely with a good meal. Enjoy your wine and have a great day.
I am very late replying @artywink, I think we could easily travel the world tasting wine in all the wineries around the world. Maybe one day. I love a glass cold white wine for dinner, riesling is my preference these day, it has to be smooth and the best, I am too old to drink sharp wine now.
Haha! I liked the commercial! Thanks for sharing it with us!
I have a store here called Total Wine. It has lovely wine, and wine from all over the world, I have never seen anything like it. I agree, the odd bit of wine here and there is a bonus!

Hi Denise, I apologise for being so tardy in my reply to you. Time as usual gets away with me, the days just zoom by. I too love this varied world of ours that is different is some ways but the same in other ways. Thank goodness we can all sit down and enjoy a glass of wine over dinner or while we cook dinner in the kitchen. #market Friday has become one of my fun challenging activities........ looking for a suitable market post, visiting, photos and post writing. My world is never boring thanks to friends in Australia and elsewhere in the many parts of this very interesting world of ours.
A special thank you to Denise as you made #marketFriday a reality and I appreciate your vision. 💝
