  South African wine in "dinkies": take your pick!

09 Feb 2016

Topics: Platter's Guide, South Africa, South African wine, wine


If, like many winelovers worldwide, you’re looking to moderate your vino consumption, one of the options is to seek out wines in smaller-format bottles than the standard 750 ml.

Historically in South Africa, smaller bottles were associated with sweeter white and fortified wines but latterly dry whites and even red wines are available in “dinkies”. For your convenience, we’ve gathered together the 375 ml and 500 ml bottlings featured in the latest (2016) edition of our guide.

To ensure no one is left out, the list caters for dry-drinkers as well as those with a sweeter tooth.
