Distorted reflection from the wall of Glou Wine Bar

WINTER WINE SCHOOL @ GLOU

We have put together a three-part series designed to warm up your cooler months with a fantastic selection of wine and awesome company. Leave the serious tasting notes at the door. Picture a cosy room, cheese snacks, and a relaxed tasting through some truly spectacular styles.

Leading each session is wine educator Jay Bessell, who pairs deep industry knowledge with a wonderfully relaxed and playful approach to every glass. Hosting the series at Glou on Smith Street, our goal is to strip the snobbery out of wine and set the scene at this local favourite for a guided tasting that feels exactly like catching up with friends or an ideal first (or second!) date.

Glou is a sustainably and ethically focused wine bar and shop. Minimal intervention. Minimal waste.

Our closed loop system

We work directly with sustainability-focused winemakers to source wines from across Australia straight from barrel to you in refillable bottles or lightweight KeyKegs. This means not only is waste reduced but transport weight is near-halved, reducing emissions and bringing down the price by up to 30%.
