When most people hear the name Coopers, their minds immediately go to its legendary Pale Ale or Sparkling Ale — icons of the Australian beer scene. But did you know that Coopers also has a lesser-known but growing reputation in the winemaking world?

In this article, we’ll dive into the story behind Coopers wine, its origins, what makes it special, and where you can find it — including online at Matthews Liquor, with fast delivery across Melbourne.

A Family Passion Beyond Beer

Founded in 1862, Coopers Brewery has always been about more than just beer — it’s about heritage, independence, and craftsmanship. While the brewery became a national icon through its naturally conditioned ales, the Cooper family’s interest in winemaking stretches back decades.

In fact, Coopers has invested in and collaborated with various South Australian wineries, and through partnerships and private labeling, has brought select wines to market under the Coopers name or portfolio.

Though wine isn’t their main focus, Coopers has quietly supported high-quality wine production behind the scenes — particularly from the Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, and Adelaide Hills.

What to Expect from Coopers Wine

Whether you’re a casual wine drinker or an enthusiast, Coopers wines offer:

• High-quality sourcing from reputable South Australian vineyards

• Small-batch production for better consistency

• Balanced flavors, often leaning toward food-friendly profiles

• Limited availability, making it a unique find for collectors

Popular varietals associated with Coopers collaborations include:

• Shiraz – bold and peppery, with smooth oak integration

• Cabernet Sauvignon – structured, elegant, and deeply layered

• Chardonnay – fresh, clean, with subtle oak and crisp acidity

These wines are often crafted with the same principles that define Coopers beer: authenticity, balance, and attention to detail.
