    6-Litre Bottle of McLaren Vale Over The Top Shiraz

    Please consume our wines safely and responsibly.

    Some may say that's a contradiction.
    I say how many straws does it come with?

    ~ $31/750ml. Not to shabby.

    Served on-board Finnair Business Class.
    Knowing the Finn's, it'd be a 6 litre per seat, that's be domestic flights.

    • EmployeeRD ADL @ Bec Hardy Wines on 23/10/2022 - 08:02

      Not much of a contradiction unless someone is stupid enough to think that they'll down 6L themselves.

      The comparison to 750ml is not entirely like for like.

    With this much wine you should throw in a goonbag to keep it fresh. I wonder if they do that for better quality wines.

      Hi @TommyGun. Stays much fresher in a large bottle than a smaller bottle. Indeed the larger the bottle format the slower the development of the aging process. Cheers! RD :-)

        As an employee of a wine store you should know better

        Without getting too technical, the reason wine goes bad comes down to one thing: oxygen.

        That means smaller bottles will result in a lower amount of oxygen that can fit in the bottle.

        • EmployeeRD ADL @ Bec Hardy Wines on 23/10/2022 - 14:48
          +3

          Happy to get technical and in essence you give the reason for my answer above. The ingress of oxygen to volume of wine is proportionally less in larger format, hence the aging process is slower. Cheers! RD :-)

          • spaceflight on 23/10/2022 - 18:34
            -1

            @RD ADL: Except that the ingress happens more times in a larger bottle and there is a larger surface area to come into contact with the oxygen.

            Plus once you have consumed 750ml of wine the larger bottle holds more air than can ever be held in a standard 750ml bottle.

        • Punkboy on 23/10/2022 - 15:41
          +1

          Lol - you are spot on about oxygen but if the bottle has 6000ml of wine vs 750ml, which bottle do u think will oxidise first if the cork enclosure is the same size on both bottles?

          • spaceflight on 23/10/2022 - 18:31
            -1

            @Punkboy:

            which bottle do u think will oxidise first if the cork enclosure is the same size on both bottles?

            That's irrelevant as the same amount of air goes into the bottle each time you pour a glass of wine.

            The larger bottle will oxidise faster because there is more liquid in it, has a larger surface area and you will take longer to drink it.

            Every time you pour/move the bottle the liquid will mix with the air and can oxidise, that will happen more readily in a larger bottle.
            The surface area of the wine exposed to air is larger in a 6L bottle due to the larger circumference of the bottle.

            • MinimalistWallets on 23/10/2022 - 18:48

              @spaceflight: So are we arguing about the rate of oxidation before or after the bottle is opened?

              Despite your retail expertise I agree with RD here.

                @MinimalistWallets: Once you’ve consumed 6l of wine none of this nonsense matters

              • EmployeeRD ADL @ Bec Hardy Wines on 24/10/2022 - 07:33

                @MinimalistWallets: @MinimalistWallets You're right two separate topics here it appears.
                Prior to opening, larger formats age more slowly as the ingress of oxygen through the closure is at a lesser proportion to the volume of wine in the larger the format. In the same way a 750ml wine under screwcap ages more slowly than the same 750ml under cork.
                After opening, the wine will oxidise in 2-3 days.
                Cheers! RD :-)

        • garage sale on 23/10/2022 - 22:01

          it’s the amount of oxygen in a 6 litre bottle vs 750ml bottle ……less oxygen in 6 litre bottler as % total volume ……

          • EmployeeRD ADL @ Bec Hardy Wines on 02/11/2022 - 14:53

            @kickling: Not entirely sure they'd be terribly effective at stopping oxidation. Might delay it but the surface area and the volume on space in the bottle would be such that it becomes cost prohibtive :-)
            It's a fun debate but mises the fact that you'd be far better off purchasing a smaller format bottle if you're not intending to enjoy 6L with friends at one sitting :-)

            • kickling on 02/11/2022 - 14:54

                  @RD ADL: OK interesting.

                  Given that Uncle Dan's takes a fair margin (but also they do volume…) would you be able to offer a price less than that for direct sales? I'm going to guess if RRP is $30 then you could sell direct for $14.

                  Simply curious.

                    @kickling: Appreciate the sentiment. Two aspets to that answer. Firstly, distributors play a valuable role in the distribution of anyone's products and are entitled to a slice of the pie like anyone else. It doesn't sit comfortably with me to work around them. Secondly, by the time we've gone to make a work around, the additional margin gained is eroded by the time taken :-)

      • EmployeeRD ADL @ Bec Hardy Wines on 23/10/2022 - 12:27
        +8

        @Ridiculous Panda as I tried allude earlier it’s not quite as black and white as a simple division.
        Full RRP is $40 for current release which is 2021 (accept you might find a retailer listing at less than $40). Museum release 2017 would attract a slightly higher price at $49.
        Cost of prodction on larger formats produced on a smaller scale is considerably higher. The glass alone is considerably higher than a pro-rata 750ml bottle, again because they are manufactured on such a smaller scale.
        Cork costs a lot more than pro-rata 750ml and each bottle has to be hand filled as they can't go down a bottling line.
        Packaging on this includes includes a wooden presentation box and hand waxing. These are collectors pieces, gifts, curios, fun party pieces. If you’re looking strictly on a per ml basis, then yes, perhaps buy eight bottles.
        Happy to have a chat on 0433 166 181 if you'd like to know more.
        Have a great weekend.

    Why are Bec Hardy wines always on sale, particularly with higher Halliday ratings. You don't see the likes of Penfolds or Leeuwin discounting their upper range.

    Having said that I've bought crates of tipsy hill etc but do they not hold value or RRP too high?

    • EmployeeRD ADL @ Bec Hardy Wines on 23/10/2022 - 11:44
      +3

      @D3m3ntia Good question but not one I can do justice to in written form on Ozbargain.
      A couple of short answers:
      1. These large formats were destined for China. Once they’ve gone you won’t see them again.
      2. Yes, Geoff Hardy branded Tipsy Hill and Yeoman we accelerated the sale of so we could get to the 2019s under new BH branding and regain consistent branding across the entire range.
      3. Re price, yes agree. Too high. It’s why we reduced the RRPs on them. An advantage of ownership is an ability to correct a decision I lost when I was a mere employee.
      If you seriously wish to know the detailed answers to your questions, I’m happy for you to call me on 0433 166 181 and walk you through distribution strategy. Cheers! Richard.

        That was the right price for 389s.. they used to go for $40, 389s are overpriced. But you never see the St Henri's for $30 which is the same discount some of these bec Hardy's get to

          Grange use to be $40 a bottle too, how far back are we going?

              You can get them for that price via Auction.

              I'm a member of various direct wholesalers who do mystery packs and I grabbed a 6PK for $56 a bottle.

                seems like patience is the key:)

                  @ggguy123: PM me, I can't PM you.

                  Some wholesalers haven't opened up memberships for years now, some you can be referred.

                  There's a few wine forums, I can direct you too aswell. :)

    I imagine pouring from a 6L bottle into a glass would be fairly challenging!

      Especially after you have drank a few litres…

      @brou Not too bad but easier if you decant into a Magnum Decanter, ordinary decanter or even just a Pyrex jug! Cheers! RD :-)

        hahaha. that'd do the job. Swirling might propose a problem! :-))

          Just add it to your work out routine.

    Was thinking if I should get another one as I already have 2 from last 2 deals.
    Ended up ordered another one while thinking. Force of habit

    • EmployeeRD ADL @ Bec Hardy Wines on 24/10/2022 - 07:20

      @wayne7190 thanks! enjoy. RD :-)

  • blingdaddyking on 23/10/2022 - 14:39

    A last time offer. Once these are gone, they are gone!

    Heard that before

  • dyldotmid on 23/10/2022 - 16:00

    as someone whos not too familiar with wines, does this mean once its opened it will need to be finished fairly quickly (a week)

    • EmployeeRD ADL @ Bec Hardy Wines on 23/10/2022 - 16:40

      @dyldotmid you’re right. It should be consumed within 2-3 days otherwise it will oxidize. Cheers RD :-)

        I am up for this challenge

      • dyldotmid on 23/10/2022 - 21:13

        how is someone suppose drink 6L wine over 2-3 days?

        • Ridiculous Panda on 24/10/2022 - 06:31

          Hmmmm some people have friends and stuff.

          • dyldotmid on 24/10/2022 - 10:18

            @Ridiculous Panda: and if you invite 6 of them over, that's 1L per person… seems a bit impractical

            • EmployeeRD ADL @ Bec Hardy Wines on 24/10/2022 - 10:21

              @dyldotmid: And if you have 20 friends - it's two glasses each……
              There as practical or as impractical as you like. Cheers! RD :-)
