One of the Brisbane co-founders behind The Iconic, Cameron Votan, has joined forces with partners Nicholas Turner, Michael Larsen and Victor Garcia to present a brand-new way to buy your beloved bottles of vino. Boutique wines from some of Australia’s smaller producers can be bought, shipped, rated and reviewed via new online platform, Spokenwine. Bottles are purchased at cellar-door prices, shipping is free and consumers are given a voice with the ability to rate the drop as ‘love’, ‘like’ or ‘not for me’, which translates to an approval rating and passion score. Drinkers can also add their own brief reviews or tasting notes.

Simply log in online to connect with friends, see what’s trending and follow your favourite reviewers with the aim of choosing your next tipple based on public opinion, rather than price alone or a single reviewer whose palate may differ to yours. Orders are packed and shipped by the wineries themselves, with free delivery on all orders. Check out the current offerings and keep an eye on Facebook for updates on new additions.
