Ink gin Virgin Australia
Ink Gin
Ink Gin is the world's first colour changing gin, which shifts from a dark purple-blue to a pink when mixed, is distilled in northern NSW. A gin distilled with 12 organic botanicals which develops its signature — and Virgin Australia's — purple colour when mixed with tonic. It is definately the perfect G&T, and comes highly recommended.

Yalumba White Wine
Y series - Sauvignon BlancOriginally from Bordeaux, but more famous from the Loire and New Zealand. It is the grape variety behind Sancerre and Pouilly Fume.
The Yalumba winery consistently over-delivers, and this is no exception. Fresh and bright on the nose with hints of snow pea and passionfruit. Crisp and lively on the palate with tropical fruit flavours and cleansing acidity.
