Most low-alcohol beers are crap, as have been most low-alcohol, lower-calorie wines - until now. With just 8.5% alcohol, this is crisp, refreshing and quaffable. The 07s were questionable; this is a real improvement. Prepare to be surprised. $14.

Tim Adams 2008 Pinot Gris
In a sea of lightweight pinot gris, this is a welcome exception; a wine of style and substance. Lovely stone/tropical fruit flavours, plenty of lemony zest and just a hint of fruit sweetness with a zingy dry finish. Fabulous with spicy foods. $24.

Yering Station 2006 Pinot Noir
Wow! This is sensational value for money given the prices several less worthy pinots are fetching. You'll find dark cherry and plum aromas with some eathiness on the nose and a soft, silky palate with hints of mushrooms and spice. Gorgeous. $25.
