What Makes Our Wine Special

Our wine club is all about delivering the exceptional flavors of Australia straight to your doorstep. Each bottle in our collection has been carefully selected from award-winning vineyards and hidden gems across Australia’s iconic wine regions.

These are the wines that top Australian restaurants and sommeliers are serving and drinking, bringing the best of small-production, sustainably-farmed, innovative Aussie wines straight to you. Every sip tells a story of passion, craftsmanship, and unique terroirs.

We work directly with winemakers who pour their heart into every bottle, ensuring our wine isn’t just good—it’s unforgettable.

Handpicked for Every Occasion

We believe wine should be as diverse as the people who enjoy it. That’s why we curate our selection to suit every palate and moment. From lively dinner parties to quiet nights in, our club delivers six distinct bottles that strike the perfect balance between fun, quality, and adventure. Expect surprises, classics, and a dash of whimsy in every box.

Australian Wine, Reimagined

We celebrate the playful side of wine while respecting the art and science behind it. Our whimsical watercolor designs reflect the vibrant and dynamic spirit of Australia’s wine culture. But behind the fun visuals lies serious attention to detail—each bottle is a premium expression of Australia’s finest winemaking traditions. Wine should feel approachable, exciting, and full of life. That’s exactly what you’ll find here.

Who is How to Drink Australian?

How to Drink Australian Wine Club is a collaboration between authors, importers, and master sommeliers, Jane Lopes and Jonathan Ross, and the expert Aussie expat, Josh Pugh.

Meet Jane & Jonathan

Jane Lopes and Jonathan Ross, a wife and husband team, are the co-founders of Legend Imports: a company devoted solely to importing Australian wine to the US. 

Jane and Jon started off their careers in the US in retail and hospitality, between them working at some of the country’s top spots, like Eleven Madison Park, The Violet Hour, The Catbird Seat, Oceana, and others. Jane and Jon moved to Australia in 2017 to work at two of Australia’s top culinary destinations, Attica and the Rockpool Group, respectively, and gained a quick appreciation for the wines of Australia—and how little exposure there was to them in the US. While in Australia, Jane and Jon both passed the master sommelier exam (two of less than 300 people globally to ever do so), Jane wrote her first book titled Vignette: Stories of Life & Wine in 100 Bottles and Jon started making wine under his own label: Micro Wines. Upon returning to the US in 2020, Jane and Jon launched Legend and undertook their 500 page Australian wine book (published in 2023), calledHow to Drink Australian. They could not be more thrilled to be bringing the great wines (and stories) of Australia to your table.
