Best Alcoholic Drinks

I won't even try it. For a local beer, 4.2% is just too expensive. I'd prefer Oettinger or even Heineken in terms of price and, I think, taste.

Coopers does not make Birrell anymore. It dumped the recipe a year ago. The ultra light that replaced it is called Coopers Ultra Light., though some… Read more

pics in ads still show it as Birrell. It is dishwater now. It is mass produced water flavored with very bitter hops, not brewed anymore. The malty brew taste is not there. Don't waste your money.. It has gone from a really pleasant low alcohol beer to tasting really bitter and nasty.

See,

"Coopers Ultra Light: This product has taken the place of the former Birrell Ultra Light and is available in bottle shops and supermarkets. Coopers Zero: This is a brand new, fully non-alcoholic beer (0.0% ABV) that was launched to meet the growing demand for non-alcoholic options, and it is the first non-alcoholic beer released under the main Coopers roundel branding. The change in branding was part of a strategy to bring consistency to the product line and position the non-alcoholic options more clearly within the main Coopers portfolio."

I would add that the quote is just marketing trash. It was cheaper to flavour water with very bitter hops, then carbonate it, than brewing. Note, the word 'beer' does not appear anywhere on the package or bottles. This happens because Australian companies cannot sell a product as beer if it is not brewed. Coopers tells lies - it is not brewed!

There is an exception to this law. Ginger Beer can be named beer if it is just ginger flavored soda, which most of it is. It must be marketed and sold as 'Genger Beer', not 'Beer'.

Commercial home brew – Just a short review, my favorite company and brew. I love the taste of Coopers Sparkling Ale just look at the texture with that sediment on the… Read more

bottom. That's why I call it Commercial Home Brew. Pale Ale is my second choice. It's Coopers or nothing for me.. Thank-you Coopers for still being South Australian, family owned and brewed company.

Perfection – I purchased this wine having never heard of it. Big mistake was only buying one bottle to take on overnight lake trip. Loved it as it was refreshing and just lovely to drink. My new go to drink. Show details

Cheap price and cheap taste. Not bad. 40$ carton but if you can get some good for extra 10-15$ go for it but if you want something cheap, get this… Read more

one. It taste cheap bit i wake up ok but rivet taste better than this one but make you feel dehydrated at night.

I love the Sour Grape! Please bring it back – Why Did the sour grape disappear? It was my favorite flavor and now I can’t find it anywhere. I don’t think I’ll be satisfied with any other cruiser flavor. Raspberry and guava are good but sour grape set the bar really high.  Show details

Love the taste – Not just for girls. My Partner loves it too.The only negative is that I have to hide the bottle from him.  Show details

Terrible – I May as well have got a case of vb.

RIP OFFS!!!! – I'm extremely disappointed with the changes made to Pure Blonde Cider. Initially, I enjoyed it in 375ml bottles, but over time, the label and volume… Read more

have changed twice - first to 355ml with an 'Organic Apple Cider' label, and now to 330ml with a new design. Despite the reductions, the price remains the same or has even increased in some outlets.

I'm frustrated that the product's value has decreased while the price remains high. I'm considering boycotting Pure Blonde Cider and encourage others to reassess their purchase decision.

The frequent changes and price inconsistency make me question the brand's transparency and customer value. I hope the manufacturer will reconsider their pricing strategy and prioritize customer satisfaction.

Summer wine – Perfect for the summer holidays. I serve them chilled well as it refreshes every meal and dessert. It goes along with almost anything and the sweet taste is my take away since it really perks me up after meals. I highly recommend this sparkling!

Hmmmm has something changed – LOVE LOVE LOVE Melbourne Bitter but I’ve just bought a carton and something is seriously wrong!!! Has a funky taste with a sweetish after taste???? I’ve been drinking Melbourne Bitter cans for 20 years ain’t never tasted like this ???? Show details

Roberts – Once you have 3 of them the rest go down like water great value beer best on empty stomach Show details

Sweet sweet Midori – I could drink these all night, and do. Been a favourite of mine for going on 10 years now. I'd write a longer review but my bar fridge is calling me, beckoning me to get another 275ml bottle of sweet sweet Midori illusion.  Show details

Converted at 65 – Just tried Rekorderlig Blood Orange Cider for the first time at my son's barbecue and have to say it's one of the tastiest drinks I've had in a long time. At 65 years old I'm now converted from a wine drinker to a Rekorderlig drinker,so enjoyable.

A great beer, Aldi is not stocking it in the Merimbula NSW store any more, what a shame as it's apparent replacement isn't nearly as good Show details

What has happened to the taste? It’s awful now – Over the last couple of months all Smirnoff double black premixes have had a terrible taste. I have contacted Diageo Australia about this but they’re… Read more

not responding. I have about 60 cans that are undrinkable. I have no idea why they taste so bad now and haven’t received any answers.

Was once the best value light beer – Cascade Premium Light was originally "Traditionally Brewed", this is/was written on the can or bottle. In the last 12 months (2020/2021) they have… Read more

introduced a Slow Brewed version, this is also written on the bottle. While the bottles & cans are similar in appearance (slightly different shade of colour), the flavour is not. The Slow Brewed is what my 1 Star rating relates to. I would rate the Traditionally Brewed 4 Stars. Traditionally Brewed is a much better flavoured beer in my opinion. Another difference is that Traditionally Brewed is 2.6% ABV while Slow Brewed is 2.4% ABV. If you can find Traditionally Brewed Cascade Light it's worth buying but I doubt there's any left. Cascade was bought out by CUB a company that has decided it knows how to produce a better beer. They failed when they changed Traditional to Slow Brewed & they displayed deceit by changing the Cascade Light Traditionally Brewed to Slow Brewed surreptitiously.

Just not right – I was gifted a Riccadonna Ruby at the bringing of 2023, it was lovely, light in colour, lightly sweet and sparkling, bubbly. I wanted to buy some for… Read more

Christmas and looked everywhere. Most places said it was taken of the shelves as there was an issue with it. I finely found it in a small independent liquor store, and purchase two bottles, $16 each. I opened one tonight and it was terrible. Dark in colour, heavy, no sparkling, "bubbles" flat as, and overly sweet. It tasted like a cheap port at best. What Has Happened to Riccadonna. I have drunk the white one for many years, which I have always enjoyed, it was a surprise to be gift the ruby earlier this year and I found it refreshing. To say I was a disappointed is an understatement.

Great tasting light beer – Very good brew , use to drink Hann premium light untill they stuffed it up. Looked at the reviews for James Boags which were great. Didnt regret buying a carton of this light beer, very refreshing. Show details

Broken glass in VB stubby – My husband almost swallowed a piece of glass from his VB drink, and on further inspection of the bottle we found 2 more bits of broken glass. We had… Read more

This is the best Brandy I have ever tasted, I have a large shot every night and sleep like a baby, it has taken me 60 yrs to find a brandy as smooth as this. Thank you. Show details

AMAZING VODKA – absolut has always been one of my go-to vodkas ever since I could legally drink. its smooth clean taste combined with its environmental… Read more

sustainability are two of the main reasons this is my preferred alcohol and why I don't mind paying a little extra in comparison to other available drinks. In addition to this, Absolut is the perfect drink to take to any occasion, inspiring not only myself but also others to become creative with the limitless drink mixes that this vodka provides.

The most embarrassing experience ever! – I recently purchased a bottle of Bookers in Israel in a store that I happened to go to very far from my home.I was visiting friends in a totally… Read more

different neighborhood,I don't even remember the name of the store or have the bag that I got when I purchased it nor the receipt.We had dinner guests over, I opened the bottle as I normally do, and the WHOLE CORK DISINTEGRATED! IT TOTALLY FELL APART! I WAS SO EMBARRASSED! I've used Bookers before and never had a problem. This must be a defective bottle! I can't seem to find anyone to talk to about it- I really feel I deserve a significant compensation! I f anyone who reads this can please e-mail me name and phone number of someone of importance in Bookers taht can compensate me, I'd appreciate it! I don't feel what has happened to m e is right, and I'm certain all who read this agree, and someone will help me out. Sincerely, Mrs. Cohen at momcohen49@gmail.com

I have enjoyed Pure Blond for many years, and prior to that D Ale and Diet Ale but not now. I thought it might be my tastebuds playing up but all… Read more

other things tasted OK. My first impression was that the beer was stale, but it wasn't. It has a flat mouth feel and unpleasant after taste. CUB insist it is the same recipe just a different way to calculate the carbs. Have persevered in hope that it was a bad batch, but no such luck. Very disappointing.

One of the best beer – I m a beer lover. Just try this beer and you will know why I gave 5 stars. The only thing is I couldn't find the case of 24 bottles.  Show details

Nicee – Never tried this but all I can say is, nice Show details

and authentically still made in Cuba unlike many other commercial brands in the market. You can mix it up in a cocktail or try it with cranberry.

Smooth, delightful drink! – A delicious drink. Very smooth, not too sweet, just perfect. I usually drink it pure, but as well with vanilla syrup and passion fruit juice. Its tropical flavour is really unique! Amarula is my personal task of spring 2019. Show details

Great Light Beer ! – Great light beer! Tried this beer and was blown away, finally I have found a great tasting beer with very little or no alcohol but is full of flavour. Well done Prickly Moses :-) Show details
