About us

We love those people who enjoy wine just as much as we do!

About Wine South Africa and Wine-SA.com

Wine South Africa has been developed as an innovative internet resource for everything to do with wine in South Africa. We do everything, from selling wines to providing information about the different makes in South Africa, and even some of the best wines around. If you have ever wondered about wines in South Africa, then you can find the information that you need online here.

Wine South Africa is based in Cape Town, one of the three capitals of South Africa, and really the capital of winemaking in the country. Cape Town itself has a long connection with wine growing and wine production, right from the first Dutch settlers to arrive, bringing with them a host of wine plants and a knowledge of vine growing. That knowledge was only further expanded by the arrival of Huguenot refugees from the wine regions of France, who settled around the Western Cape, and helped South Africa to become a major wine producer.

Here at Wine South Africa, we believe that the country produces some of the best wines in the world. South African wine makers are now internationally recognised, and that means that we have taken important steps to becoming one of the most popular wine producers across the globe. Our domestic market is huge, and more and more supermarkets in Europe and the US, and even in Russia, are now stocking South African wines.

Wine South Africa believes that there is something unique about the wines that we produce here, from the deep rich red wines that are our trademark, and including the unique South African wine, Pinotage, to our crisp and flavoursome white wines such as Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. We make the best wines, and we have ideal wine-growing soils and climate. South Africa is now exporting a large percentage of its total wine production, and this will make our name across the globe as producers of good red or white wines.

Lastly, Wine South Africa also provide other services besides selling wine and giving details about certain types of wine. We provide an interactive forum and talking point, The Vine, which is our way of letting anyone that wants to talk about the different wines that can be found in the country, and we are also starting to offer our own courses, teaching people how to properly taste wines. This will allow them to fully enjoy the experience of drinking the wines they buy from our site, and then let you comment on your findings on our forum section, or write an article describing the wine. You can even become a writer for the site.

No matter what kind of wine you enjoy, and whether you enjoy talking about it or learning about it, then you can find all of these elements at Wine South Africa, where wine is the most important subject there is. Red wine, white wine, rosé or fortified, we accept all varieties here, and take pleasure in meeting people who enjoy it just as much as we do.
