#Repost @alvisdriftwine • • • • • • #E #Repost @alvisdriftwine • • • • • • #EmptyGlassSA Please help save our beautiful wine industry! Once again the alcohol industry has been grinded to a halt with the 3rd alcohol ban in the past 10 months. An estimate of 80 wineries and 350 wine grape growing producers will go out of business in the next 18 months with a potential loss of 21 000 jobs. The first two alcohol bans left the South African wine industry with a loss of more than R7.5 billion in sales. (Vinpro Stats) #EmptyGlassSA is a brilliant initiative started by @vinevenom symbolically reminding all where the SA wine industry could land up if the ban continues for much longer 🙁! Once again we urge your continued support of the industry please! Here's how you can help: 1. Shop in advance with purchases online OR 2. #DrinkSouthAfrican from overseas outlets or distributors where the sale of alcohol is still permissible! #alvisdrift #worcesterwineandoliveroute #visitworcester_za #visitworcester_za #valleyoffriends #strongertogether #SAWineLockdown #vinpro #VisitSAWinelands #savesawine #jobssavelives #saveourwineries #supportlocal #drinklocal

#Repost @winelandmedia • • • • • • Alv #Repost @winelandmedia • • • • • • Alvi's Drift Wine International If you look at all the stories behind our #wines, everything has a sense of place. For Alvi van der Merwe, winemaker of Alvi’s Drift, it’s all about the #grapes. He says Alvi’s Drift is one of the fastest-growing brands in South Africa. “It’s a family business because every extension of the brand is done with family in mind and it makes the journey exciting for us.” Alvi attributes the success of the brand to the support and input from staff. “I get goose bumps just thinking about it. There’s not just one person who makes the brand successful. It’s a team effort. Empowering our staff is a strong focus point for us.” #viticulturist Buksie, the trusted Jack Russel, also works hard in the #vineyard by tasting the grapes alongside Alvi (which he won’t pick unless it’s completely ripened) 🐶🐕🍷 The Worcester region could very well be the next gem of the wine industry, but now it’s up to our local tourists to make a day trip of the route and explore #exploretheunexplored. @worcesterwineandoliveroute #valleyoffriends #VisitsWorcester_za #exploretheunexplored #R43 #onsluvdienuyvallei

#Repost @class.inaglass • • • • • • Al #Repost @class.inaglass • • • • • • Alvi's Drift Wine International @alvisdriftwine 🤩🍾🥂🎉 What a privilege to taste these amazing wines with Alvi & Junel van Der Merwe. Alvi is the managing director & over sees the whole wine making & production of Alvis Drift. Junel is a phenomenal Cape Wine Master with tons of passion for wine & people. This estate has become one of my absolute favorites for value for money wines, that punch way above their weight! 🍷 🍷 Alvis Drift is a 7000 ha farm situated along the Breede River with 420 ha under vine & 20 different grape varieties. It is the largest South African privately owned winery processing their own grapes. Planted in mostly alluvial for Sauvignon Blanc, Shale for red wines & fossilized ant hills for other white wines. The climate is typically Mediterranean with a large difference in day & night temperatures. Also apart of the @worcesterwineandoliveroute 😊 🍷 🍷 Every wine we tasted was phenomenal, especially for the price! They have a 🥂 Signature range (cheap but punches above the weight! Lekker drinking wine!), 🥂 221 range (incredible QPR), 🥂 Reserve range (serious wine), 🥂 Albertus Viljoen (premium range) & 🥂 Bubbly (amazing quality)! 🍷 🍷 Everything was good! But QPR winners were all the 221 range and Reserve range wines. 🤩 the 221 Chenin is delicious, the 221 Pinotage is incredible, for only +/- R100, amazing! The reserve Sauvignon Blanc is a whopper too & Reservr Chardonnay is yummmmy too! I will do reviews on my tastings in due course, but stock up for the season so long! 🍷 🍷 The awards speak for themselves! I mean both the 2019 vintage of the 221 & Albertus Viljoen Chenin Blanc was awarded the Std bank 2020 top 10 Chenin Blanc challenge. Most wines have awards! It’s a Wine Estate that should be a staple in the cellar or the cupboard 😉 try them all, you will be converted into a fan of course! I highly recommend them!

The South African wine industry is an engine of transformation, don't switch it off. Wine is not simply a beverage – it’s education, housing, food. A piece for @WOSA_ZA on the good the industry does.

Good to see that the year on year volume of SA Wine exports 🍷🇿🇦 is in line with 2019, at slightly higher value. This nothwitstanding 5 weeks lost in April/May due to the wine export ban and a very tough global wine trade where demand is down 13% @WOSA_ZA @Vinpro_za #savesawine
