Oz products in the UK
Wishing to support the country I want to live in. What products can I make a consumer choice about and by brand Oz in the UK.
Of course I only by Oz wine (although the supermarkets have very little from Vic)
Anything else ? Apart from the hats with corks you can get at Blackpool gift shops ???

To my mind, buy what you want. In Aus, of course you'd buy Australian wine because it's good stuff and cheaper. However, to limit yourself to the produce of the country you're buying seems foolish. If that were the case you'd only ever buy a car made in the the UK (which I bet you do not) and your choice of products in the supermarket would be limited to those made in the UK. I bet you don't do that now?
I just find this amusing you want to spend loads more money on products that have been imported and often are blinkin' awful compared to others. VB is totally shocking beer...

Re: Oz products in the UK
Think some people got this a bit wrong.
I just want to show a little retail support if I have a free choice. As I and many others must surely do.
I dont like the way the French act with the c.a.p. so I will never buy French wine or cheese again. I dont like the way the US place tariffs on steel, so I stopped buying there wine and sweet potatoes.
Just wanted to know if there was anything other than wine that I may have missed in the shops that I could try and filter some money back to Oz.
