When you’re spoilt for choice, it helps to have the inside scoop. Take a peek at our Editor’s picks of eight incredible drinks you can score at an exclusive price right now.
We’re officially reaching the business end of winter and, by now, you’re probably, hopefully, settled into a comfortable routine of cosy slow-paced evenings with good food and great company. But whether you’re after a quiet Friday night on the couch or planning an aesthetically pleasing dinner party with your nearest and dearest, a selection of interesting drinks is essential.
Thankfully, we’re back with the latest entry in our series highlighting our Editor Lara’s picks of the very best drinks deals that My Dan’s members can score simply by virtue of being a free member. And this August, we have everything from adventurous wines and canned whiskies (!) to classic beers. Here, then, are eight of our favourite My Dan’s specials on offer this month.
1. Gemtree Small Batch Pet Nat
An unsung gem (excuse the pun), this wine is the latest natural offering from this organic McLaren Vale winery and one of the few natty wines to also get a nod in the Halliday Wine Companion guide. Light on funk but full of fizz and fruit, the Gemtree Small Batch Pèt Nat is an approachable, refined entry into the world of naturally fermented wines, with its delicious notes of strawberry and lychee leaping out of the glass. Plus, if biodynamic, low-preservative and vegan-friendly are things you look for on a wine label, this has you covered there, too. Grab it while you still can.

5. Two Stacks Dram in a Can Irish Whiskey
Whiskey? In a can? Can you imagine the chin-stroking neckbeards’ reaction to this one? To hell with them, we say, because this Two Stacks Dram in a Can is a proper good drop served up in a revolutionary new way. Each can from the award-winning Irish distillery comes with two shots of their acclaimed blend of grain, malt and pot-still whiskey – perfect for camping trips and picnics without having to lug a bottle wherever you go.
Non-member price: $49.99 for a 4-pack

6. James Squire Red Wine Sangria Ginger Beer
Red Wine Sangria Ginger Beer is a wild cacophony of different drinks in a single can, but we’d expect nothing less from the ever-rebellious folk at James Squire. The more you think about it, though, it’s a combination that makes sense: the bright fruit of sangria provides a refreshing hint of tang as an encore to the spicy sweetness of James Squire’s already-popular ginger beer.
