A mixed wine box should feel personal, not random. Build Your Box lets you choose a selection around the people, food and occasion you have in mind.

Start with the mood

Before choosing bottles, decide what the box needs to do. A relaxed lunch calls for bright, easy-drinking whites and rosé. A long dinner may need a mix of whites, reds and something special to finish. A gift box should include at least one bottle that feels familiar and one that gives the recipient something new to discover.

Choose a white for freshness

For a crisp, versatile starting point, add On Point Pinot Grigio. It is a natural fit for seafood, salads, light pasta and warm afternoons.

Add a red with character

For a fuller bottle to anchor the box, look at Zip Line Shiraz or Jack Harrison Shiraz. These are the bottles to reach for with barbecue, roast dinners, steak or a cosy night in.

Give the box a softer option

Tru-Su Rosé brings an easygoing middle ground to a mixed selection. It is useful when you want something refreshing but a little more expressive than a standard white.

Build around the people drinking it

A good custom box does not need to please every possible wine drinker. Build it around your actual group. For a couple, choose a balanced mix with two whites, two reds and two bottles of rosé or sparkling. For a larger gathering, use the box to cover the whole meal, from aperitif through to the main course.

Make your selection

When you know the styles you want, Build Your Box and create a selection that suits your taste, menu and budget. It is the easiest way to avoid receiving a box full of bottles nobody is excited to open.

Keep the mix useful, include one wildcard, and choose wines you would genuinely be happy to pour. That is the secret to a better wine box.
