The best alcohol delivery services to use in coronavirus lockdown

Forget toilet paper – keep your alcohol supplies topped up during lockdown with these delivery services. Social distancing just got a whole lot easier.

The messaging has been loud and clear: We are to stay at home and keep our trips to essential outings only.

While that includes groceries, exercise, anything medical-related and a handful of other reasons, what about the much-needed booze top-up?

While bottle shops remain open, what better way to social distance than getting your tipple of choice delivered straight to your door?

Whether you’re craving a bold red, chilled lager or gin and tonic, these nine companies will keep your drink supplies in good shape. Enjoy! (Responsibly, of course.)

VINOMOFO

One of Australia’s biggest online wine retailers, each bottle from Vinomofo has been vetted by their passionate staff. Not only do they deliver worldwide – should you want to send a friend a care package – but their customers get an average saving of 51 per cent off the recommended retail price of their wines.

Their ‘Black Market Deals’ are especially good value. While the label is hidden, you’ll be able to buy them for up to 69 per cent off. Vinomofo says this is because the brands don’t want them advertised at such discounted prices and hey, we’re not complaining.

Jimmy Brings is also now delivering hand sanitiser as well as alcohol.

JIMMY BRINGS

From wine to beer and spirits, Jimmy Brings delivers on demand in as little as 30 minutes (depending on time and location).

The service is currently available in select suburbs in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Canberra, the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Perth and Adelaide and they also stock mixers, snacks, ice, cups and hand sanitiser too.

COVERT WINE CO

A boutique wine service that strays away from the mainstream brands to offer lovely drops from small, Australian wineries which give the best value for your hard-earned dollars.

Chooses boxes already filled with hand-picked wines or create your own mix and match from the choices on the Covert Wine Co website. 

The wine service will soon be launching a subscription service, where you sign up and receive and exciting selection of wines each month, if that's more your bag. 

GOOD PAIR DAYS

Simply fill out a brief questionnaire and the brains at Good Pair Days will send you a box of three wines suited to your tastes.

Each bottle comes with a tasting card and recommended recipes and you can also purchase individual wines, curated packs or sign up to a subscription service.

BOPPLE

While Bopple is technically more a food-purchasing and delivery app, it also lets users buy booze directly from their favourite local eateries.

Availability does depend on whether the venue has opted to sell alcohol but it’s a great way to support local businesses during these trying times.

BOOZE BUD

If you’re after a specific type of gin, champagne or IPA, you’ll be able to find it on Booze Bud. Their range is impressive and you can rest easy knowing you’re getting it for the best price possible. If not, they’ll match it.

They also do same-day delivery for Sydney and Melbourne orders too.

MAGNUM + QUEENS WINE

While Magnum + Queens Wine’s offerings sit at the higher end of the price spectrum, if you can afford to treat yourself, now is the time.

It’s not just wine they specialise in. They also sell a curated selection of sakes, spirits and caviar (for fancier palates).

NAKED WINES

Support independent winemakers while getting a deal on your favourite bottles. Naked Wines gives customers access to a wide range of wines for discounted prices.

The idea is that you put $40 a month into your ‘wine piggy bank’ and then get to spend it on their wide selection of vinos, beers, ciders and spirits. Plus, all their products are backed by a 100 per cent ‘No Fuss Refund’.

Cocktail hour – and you don’t even have to dress for it.

GIN SOCIETY

Gin fanatics get excited. Gin Society is Australia’s largest gin subscription service and they’re here to keep your supplies topped up with their international offering.

Their bi-monthly subscription services gives members a full-sized bottle of craft gin - and a copy of their magazine, Gin Journal and a surprise gift - and you can also shop from their range of boutique and artisan gins and gift boxes.

ORGANICWINE.COM.AU

If the words skin contact, preservative-free, biodynamic and natural wine get your tastebuds excited, look no further than organicwine.com.au.

The Victorian business ships nationally and stocks a wide range of reds, whites, sparklings and everything else in between. You’ll be spoiled for choice.
