The first 100 people at the party will take home a New Year’s Eve Party pack, which includes Sofi Spritz product, merchandise and other goodies.
The new flavour is all-Australian and all-natural, perfectly blending the white peach and ginger with white wine and a dash of soda water.
Sofi Spritz is known for creating premium quality Australian wine using locally sourced ingredients. Its flavours drew inspiration from Mediterranean heritage, bringing some Italian style to Australia’s relaxed outdoor lifestyle.
Brisbane has a habit of holding a festival for all things that locals love, so it is just fitting that West End is the venue for a festivity putting the spotlight on street art.

Twice each month, local vegans converge in West End to celebrate everything vegan at Brisbane Vegan Markets.
Leading a vegan lifestyle is not an easy choice. Eating out would be agonisingly difficult considering the minimal choices of restaurants and menus offering plant-based dishes. Thankfully, Brisbane is home to select restaurants and retail establishments catering to vegans and those converting to a vegan lifestyle.

The event is the perfect place for anyone starting to adopt a vegan lifestyle as there is plenty to learn just moving around the venue. The markets also provide live entertainment and cooking demonstrations aside from delectable treats from various food stalls.
Vegan lifestyle does not have to be insipid. Food can be scrumptious and healthy at the same time and that is what Brisbane Vegan Markets is all about.
At each Brisbane Vegan Markets, people can appreciate that animals need not be sacrificed for human survival and satisfaction.
