Glug

Glug also operates a wholesale business which sells to retailers in Sydney and Brisbane. Glug is located in the Barossa Valley, South Australia and operates from winery premises which are near the historic Barossa town of Tanunda. Wine is shipped from a warehouse in Tanunda to private customers every working day. An advantage of Glug is the locatio... n in the Barossa Valley as it is central to numerous premium wine regions like McLaren Vale and the Clare Valley and to essential services such as label printers, bottling and storage facilities, technical help and numerous specialists such as wine makers and wine brokers. The wines offered on Glug are purchased by David and Ben. A substantial quantity of the Barossa Valley wine is from contracted grapes and this is supplemented with purchases of wine from growers and wine makers. Regular buying expeditions to McLaren Vale, the Clare Valley, Langhorne Creek, Coonawarra and further afield means stock is constantly added to the bulk storage in the Barossa Valley. Since 2004 numerous valuable contacts have been established across South Australia which means we are offered wines almost daily. Glug buys quantities from a single barrel to larger volumes which may be further aged in the Barossa. With time the Glug offer will steadily expand to most of the Australian and New Zealand wine regions.
