Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews said he would be enjoying a drink from “higher up the shelf” last night, and his choice of tipple has put a Melbourne small business in the spotlight.
After announcing a major easing of Melbourne’s coronavirus restrictions on Monday, following a day when the state recorded no new cases of COVID-19, Andrews was responding to a question about whether Victorians could now “get on the beers”.
“I don’t know that I’ll be drinking a beer tonight,” the Premier said.
“I might go a little higher up the shelf”.
Later in the evening, he shared a photo of two glasses sitting alongside a bottle of whisky from Melbourne’s Starward Distillery.
