Overview

Have you been practising your wine twirl? Do you know your tannins from your terroir? No? Well, study up. You'll need to impress the crowd at the biggest wine experience of the Easter weekend: Loose Lips, which is taking place in The Wine Bar at The International on Saturday, April 19, from 2-6pm.

Organised by Joel Amos, the man behind DRNKS and Huge Moves, in collaboration with The Wine Bar Group's Director of Food and Drink Alex Kirkwood and Head Sommelier Jacq Turner, Loose Lips is set to showcase 100+ wines from 30 producers with unlimited tastings and a pop-up bottleshop to take home the real deal.

Those producers are a mix of international and Australian winemakers, including Brash Higgins, Ephemera Wines, Frankly, This Wine Was Made By Bob, Les Fruits, Meredith by Mem, Pool Wines, Pride of Lunatics, Strange Grapes, Wines of Lebanon, Worlds Apart, Yayoi and many more. It's more than a wine bar takeover. It's a cellar door-level lineup.

It's not all sips. Guest chef Mitch Orr (Kiln, Navi) will be on-site to serve pizza slices and signature 'genre-defying' takes on Italian snacks (all perfectly paired, of course). The evening soundtrack will come from a range of DJs, with Ed Loveday and Veda downstairs, and DJ Levins and friends taking to the decks in the upstairs Panorama Bar for the free Loose Lips afterparty.
