Bests Great Western invites public to share wine memories for 160th anniversary

Best’s Great Western is celebrating its 160th anniversary this year, marking the milestone with its “160 Years Poured In” campaign which invites wine lovers to share their own Best’s memories online or at the cellar door. The winery has some of the oldest pre-phylloxera vines in the world, but it shared that it’s the people and their memories which have made the Thomson family the proudest. “Best's wine is poured into 160 years of Australian life - into celebrations, farewells, first dinners, long lunches, quiet evenings. Every bottle that has ever left Great Western has been poured into a moment that mattered to someone. We’d love to hear what some of these were for nostalgic reasons. The stories shared so far, from the trade, wine lovers, and local community have been humbling and so amazing,” said Ben Thomson, managing director and fifth generation family member.
