All treats, no tricks: 18 spooky wines for Halloween

Halloween might not be Australia’s biggest occasion, but we’ll happily take the excuse to have a little fun with our wine selection. And it turns out there are some fairly suspicious characters lurking in the cellar for you to open on October 31.

There’s Black Blood for the vampires, Thorny Devil Grenache for anyone embracing their devilish side, and Ghost Town Pinot Noir for a little supernatural company. Prefer a white? Death by Semillon sounds like a job for the wine detective.

We’ve rounded up 18 wines whose names alone earn them a place at the Halloween party. Whether you’re going all out on a costume or your only dress-up plan is a red-wine moustache, there’s something here to raise your spirits (no pentagram needed).
