Australian brands are tame on Valentine's Day in comparison to some of our global counterparts.

Burger King Israel, for example, has gone to the extent of offering a limited edition adults-only meal box.

The 'Valentine's Adult's Meal' packaging, which echoes its range of kids' meals, is only for those over 18 and includes two Whoppers, two boxes of French fries, two beers, and a feather duster, blindfold, or head massager.  

In a promotion, the chain said:

"Kids have got their ‘Kid’s Meal’ but what about grown-ups? Shouldn’t they have their own meal too? At least on Valentine’s?”

Mars has also celebrated the occasion, albeit in a less saucy way, by issuing this special edition Snickers bar for 14 February.

Australia’s 2026 winegrape crush fell to 1.27 million tonnes, 19 per cent lower than the 2025 vintage of 1.57 million tonnes and the smallest since 2000. Believed to be a result of market conditions as well as climate and seasonal factors, the reduced national crop did not result in stronger grape prices.
