The Checkers Wine Route – full of delicious surprises

The Checkers Wine Route is famous for its extensive selection of local and international wines, as well as its commitment to offering the finest estate wines at cellar prices.

But did you know that it also brings you famous wine brands at a fraction of the cost under the exclusive Odd Bins label?

Find the secret hiding in every bottle of Odd Bins

The Odd Bins range of select, limited edition wines is one that’s completely exclusive to the Checkers Wine Route – and it’s a firm favourite amongst wine lovers too.

In order to bring you the finest wine brands at a fraction of the price, Checkers sources limited quantities of vintage releases from famous wine estates. These are then taken before a panel of wine experts, including the likes of Jan Boland Coetzee, who judge the quality of each one. Those that make the grade are given a unique number under the famous Odd Bins label – and once a bin is sold out, its number is never repeated.

In this way, Checkers is able to bring you superior quality wines at a price you’ll love!

While the original label of each of the Odd Bins wines remains a closely guarded secret, who knows what your palate could uncover? Pick up a bottle of Odd Bins at your nearest Checkers Wine Route today, and see if you can guess which top estate wine lies hidden inside!

Odd Bins – limited quantities, exceptional value

If you find a bin you enjoy, you’d best stock up – that’s because our Odd Bins wines are only available in limited quantities.

Once a bin is sold out, it’s gone for good, so the more you can enjoy your favourite while it lasts, the better. Watch our Odd Bins video and make sure to keep an eye out for the labels you love the next time you visit the Checkers Wine Route!     

Bringing you the very best – authentic ports from Portugal

Did you know – under the European Union Protected Designation of Origin, only fortified wines produced in Portugal’s Douro Valley can be labelled as authentic port wines?

While many countries, including South Africa, distill top-quality port-style wines, genuine port is produced only in Portugal – which is exactly where Checkers’ new range of authentic ports is from!

In order to bring you the best of the world’s winemaking regions, the Checkers Wine Route now offers a selection of the finest genuine port wines directly from Portugal. Choose from a selection of Ruby or Tawny blends, or ports aged 10, 20 or 30 years, and enjoy an authentic taste of Portugal in the comfort of your own home. 

Traditionally in South Africa and other English-speaking countries, port wines are enjoyed after dinner as a sweet end to the meal. However in Europe, port is most commonly served before meals, as an aperitif. Before or after meals, the choice is yours – and what a delicious choice it is, thanks to the Checkers Wine Route!
