Mystery Box — How it works

The Wine Animal Mystery Box

Let the animal build your box.

This isn't a build-it-yourself box. You set the brief, we do the rest — matched to bottles you'd never have found on your own. No spoilers before it ships.

1

Set your brief.

Pick 3, 6, 9 or 12 bottles — that sets your minimum spend ($100, $150, $200, $250). Nudge the budget up in $50 steps to wherever you like. Tell us which styles you're into (sparkling, light or heavy whites, light or heavy reds) and any countries you lean towards (Australia, France, Italy, Spain, USA) — or leave it all blank for a free hand. Add whether you want tasting and cellaring notes, plus anything else we should know.

The animal hand-picks.

We match your brief against what's actually in stock and build the box for you. Brenden personally signs off on every box before it ships — the same wines he'd put in his own cellar, nothing in there to fill space.

No spoilers before it ships.

That's the whole point of a mystery box. No bottle list beforehand, no swap-outs once it's picked — trust the curation. If you'd rather choose every wine yourself, our regular shop is right this way.

Arrives, ready to open.

Insured couriering Australia-wide. Metro in 1–2 business days, regional in 3–5. Free shipping over $200. Tasting and cellaring notes tucked inside, if you asked for them.

Make it a quarterly ritual.

Opt in and a fresh box lands every three months, rotating with the seasons — heavy reds for winter, lighter reds into spring, sparkling for summer. We check in 14 days and again 7 days before every renewal so you can change your style, adjust the budget, skip a quarter, or cancel. Nothing ships without your window to tweak it.
