Ahhh, looks like a Green Death bottle.


Pick Axe branded. I think West End and Southwark used Pick Axe bottles.

Certainly did, would've had the old styled ring pull:

You'd go from seemingly fine to absolutely blotto instantly, reminded me of the teenage days drinking Mississippi Moonshine or Nikov Vodka and Orange.

It was violent, my first powerchuck. I threw up 3 days after drinking it as I walked into a friends house on a hot day and could smell oranges.

I have never been able to have OJ with alcohol since.

When I first started drinking at the Hilton ( South Road ) when I was 16 an old bloke, Peewee, sat at the end of the old oval shaped front bar in the middle of the room drinking $2 pints of Port all night, every night.

Ventured into my local Dans yesterday. Picked up a few bottles of Riddoch Coonawarra 2014 Cabernet Sauvignons for $16 absolute bargain. Cracking one tonight to wash down the roast lamb.

Wirra Wirra Adelaide Shiraz to go with the home made pizzas.
Thanks to @DOC who put me on to this. I’ve never had a $10 bottle of red so good.

For those here that don't mind a red, Accolade Wines here in the Riverland have a dozen of their premium cleanskins shiraz from McLaren Vale for $84 a dozen. For $7 a bottle, it's bloody good red. It's my go to red at the moment. I'm sure they'd be able to get it down that way to u if u wanted a taste. I love my red and this is good stuff.
