Our Highlights, Selected for You

Style and Grape Varieties: Our Favourites

In this collection, you'll find the wines that our team is most excited about. It's a handpicked mix of our absolute bestsellers and personal insider tips. The stylistic range is vast, spanning from crisp, fresh white wines and elegant rosés to powerful, full-bodied red wines. A special highlight is the German organic wines from the 'Max & Moritz Streiche' (Pranks) line – modern and characterful cuvées. Alongside them are icons from South Africa, such as expressive Chardonnay, complex Sémillon, and the classic Whole Berry Cabernet Sauvignon. This diversity ensures that you'll find the right wine for every taste and occasion, whether you prefer it dry and mineral-driven or elegant and complex.

Origin: South Africa Meets Germany

Our passion for South African wines is the heart of The WineStore, but our taste knows no borders. This collection is the best proof of that. Here, wines from the renowned South African region of Franschhoek, known for its first-class red and white wines, meet exciting projects from Germany. The inclusion of the German 'Max & Moritz' wines showcases our enthusiasm for winemakers who break new ground with passion and a clear commitment to organic farming. This combination of two fascinating wine worlds makes our favourites selection so unique and diverse.

Perfect Pairings for Any Occasion

Whether for a cosy dinner, a celebration with friends, or just a relaxing evening, you'll find what you're looking for here. The light, fresh white wines like the PF Sauvignon Blanc or the '1. Streich' are wonderful aperitifs and pair beautifully with salads, seafood, or light poultry. A robust red wine like the Whole Berry Cabernet Sauvignon or the Big G is the ideal partner for a grilled steak, roasted lamb, or strong cheeses. The Sémillon, in turn, is a fantastic, versatile food companion that elegantly complements even sophisticated dishes.

A Highlight for Every Budget

Excellent taste doesn't have to be expensive. Our favourites are priced very fairly, starting at around €13 for superb everyday wines and going up to about €40 for special growths or the impressive magnum bottles for special occasions. In this selection, you'll find wines with an outstanding price-to-enjoyment ratio, so you're guaranteed to discover a personal highlight that fits perfectly into your budget.
