We asked Dan's Head of Fine Wine Andrew Shedden what wines are on trend for summer. The key things are whites with "tension and texture" and "brighter and lighter" reds. Andrew brought in a bunch of wines which include some new favourites for us - and for as little as $17!

With the help of Endeavour's Head of Fine Wine Andrew Shedden we find out exactly what goes in to choosing the wines which end up on shelf. 

Sustainably made and packaged wine is exploding. We explore the impact each of these has on the planet, and of course, see how they taste!
