Say goodbye to the vile texture of split almond milk in your hot coffee, with these beans roasted specially for milk alternatives. The first of its kind, Alt Coffee by Bastion Lane Espresso is roasted exclusively for use with plant-based milks like soy, almond, oat, macadamia and coconut, without sacrificing an ounce of flavour. The beans are totally organic, ethically sourced from high-altitudes in Peru, resulting in a deep, rich and chocolatey taste with notes of roasted hazelnuts. The beans are hand-roasted by head brewer Gary Wall in a post office in NSW country town, Uki, and customers can choose grind options to suit their at-home coffee maker – whole beans, Turkish, espresso, stovetop or plunger. Love what you taste? You can even sign up for a weekly, fortnightly or monthly coffee subscription. Grab yours now from $15 here.

Vodka lovers can assert their dominance over the wine connoisseurs of the world with a brand new luxury vodka crafted entirely from grapes. Aptly coined Elegance Vodka, it’s the world’s first hand crafted vodka made from 100% Chardonnay grapes, sourced from the Barossa and then distilled right here in Sydney. What sets it apart is a delightfully smooth taste – far from the throat-burning familiarity of bottom shelf varieties – and notes of blueberry, candied lavender and vanilla wafer on the nose, and white pepper and licorice on the palate. What’s more? Each bottle is individually blown from pure, lead-free crystal into a custom diamond shape, making it the star of the show for your surely growing home bar. Get your hands on Elegance Vodka for $99.99, exclusively here.

Just the news we needed to lift lockdown spirits, luxury bubbles brand Carbon Champagne is finally coming to Australia, so you can sip in style this spring. The famous partners of Formula 1® and Bugatti, Carbon Champagne is for the serious Champagne drinkers among us, revolutionising the market with its innovative packaging formula and finding a balance of flavours quite unlike anything else we’ve seen.

Containing notes of flowers, spices and brioche, each bottle is handmade, a 37-step process that takes a staff of 30 people to make, a result of four years of experimentation and perfecting. Available exclusively through Emperor Champagne, you can now get your hands on Champagne Carbon Brut, Rosé, Blanc de Blancs, Brut Magnum, Bugatti 2002 Vintage and Bugatti 2006 Vintage – what are you waiting for?
