The Market.
SipStory tracks the shelf price of fixed baskets of Australian wine over time — a read on where the market actually is, not just what's on sale this week. Built from the real prices we log every day.

The basket
A fixed set of Barossa & Eden Valley Shiraz, single 750mL bottles, spanning entry to icon. The index follows the median, so neither a $9 cleanskin nor a $300 trophy bottle swings it. Constituents we're currently tracking:
| Wine | Shelf $/btl |

How it's built
Fixed basket, median (not average), observed shelf price — never a retailer's RRP, which is routinely inflated. Every price is normalised to a 750mL equivalent and reconciled across shops, with one reading per week. The Price Index uses the regular shelf price; the Glut Barometer uses the promotion share off the same data.
