German Wines in Australia This site is the rising of the phoenix in Australia for fantastic, German Wines.

What follows is a tale of the victory of ignorance and perception over knowledge and ability.


The Vinothek for Australia was a long time in the planning and making. Sydney was chosen as the first city to have a Vinothek outlet, which, in retrospect, may have been an unwise choice, since many people from Melbourne, who had visited, had begged for just such an establishment in Melbourne.

Vinothek was established to provide Australia with the very finest, outstanding, indeed unusual and exclusive wines of Germany, also with a reasonable contingent of Austrian wines, which, although in the last decades very much overlooked in the world in general, are now becoming the focus of intense, international interest for their quality. These wines blasted away generations old, false conceptions of German wines in the minds of the English speaking world generally.
