Raise a Stein: Celebrate Oktoberfest With Wine Rack’s Seasonal Picks

September brings with it a season of celebration, tradition, and a whole lot of beer. That’s right; it’s Oktoberfest time. Whether you’re heading to Munich, hosting your own at-home celebration, or simply looking for an excuse to try some iconic European brews, Wine Rack has you covered with a line-up that delivers flavour, value, and authentic Bavarian flair.

From golden lagers to cloudy wheat beers, from seasonal cocktails to fine wines, our shelves are brimming with offers to help you toast the season. And as the evenings draw cooler, it’s also the perfect moment to start transitioning from alfresco garden sipping to cosy nights in with a glass of something warming.

Cocktail of the Month: Stoli Toronto Mule

Not quite ready to say goodbye to cocktails just yet? The Stoli Toronto Mule is the perfect serve to carry you from sunny afternoons into crisp autumn evenings.

Recipe:

50ml Stoli Vodka
15ml Maple Syrup
15ml Lemon Juice

Shake with ice, strain into a highball filled with fresh ice, then top with ginger beer. Garnish with blueberries and a lemon slice for a seasonal twist.

It’s zingy, lightly spiced, and just the right balance of sweet and sharp; ideal for your last few alfresco evenings or as a warming cocktail indoors.
