BWS catalogue and specials of the week

BWS explained: who owns it, how the app works and how to read the catalogue

Who owns BWS and where it started

If you have ever wondered who owns BWS, the answer is Endeavour Group. It is the drinks and hotels business that Woolworths Group demerged in June 2021, and it now trades on the ASX under its own code. Woolworths held on to a small stake for a few years afterwards and sold the last of it in 2024, so these days the two are separate companies even though you may still hear the old link mentioned.

The brand itself is younger than most people assume. It began in June 2001 with a neighbourhood bottle shop in Cabramatta, Sydney, and in 2013 the 475 liquor shops that used to sit alongside Woolworths supermarkets were rebadged as BWS. The network has kept growing since then and is now counted at well over 1,400 shops across the country (2026), with head office in Bella Vista, New South Wales.

Endeavour also owns Dan Murphy's, the big-box sister brand, and a large pub portfolio through ALH. If you shop around, it helps to know that BWS and Dan Murphy's share an owner but run as different banners, each with its own catalogue on Australia. Independent groups such as Cellarbrations are a different business again, so their ranges and catalogue timing will not line up with BWS. The wider Groceries section on this site is the place to see where bottle shops sit next to the supermarkets.

Reading the catalogue without wasting a trip

The current BWS catalogue runs 24.10.2026 to 03.11.2026 and is 5 pages long, which is short and easy to scan. Many shoppers look for bws specials this week first, then flip to the beer and wine pages. Anyone hunting bws beer specials or bws specials wine will usually find them grouped near the front, with spirits and mixed drinks further in. A new edition tends to follow in a similar rhythm, so a bws catalogue next week search is rarely needed if you check back once the dates above roll over.

One thing worth knowing is that prices on the BWS site and app depend on location, and Endeavour itself tells customers to set their store in the app to see the right numbers. That is why people search for a bws catalogue for NSW, Queensland or Victoria separately: the printed pages are a guide, not a promise for every postcode. If a special catches your eye, check the exact shop before you drive over.

For the weekly shop, compare with Coles, Aldi and Drakes, and Other is a handy detour for everything else.

App, delivery and finding a shop near you

The BWS app is the part that changes the way many people use the brand. Appy Deals launched on 1 May 2024 and covers beer, wine and spirits marked with a blue ticket, both in store and online. In a shop you scan the app at the counter to claim the deal. Everyday Rewards members get the same deals through their membership without scanning twice, and they earn points on spending.

For bws delivery, the app lets you order ahead for free pickup in store or have an order brought to your door, depending on your delivery area. BWS announced a one-hour delivery guarantee in 2021, with a credit towards the next delivery if the order ran late, but terms like that get updated, so read the current conditions in the app at checkout. Searching bws near me in your phone will usually be quicker than any list, and bws opening hours are set shop by shop, so use the official store finder instead of trusting an old screenshot.

For the corner-shop run, Foodworks and Foodland publish their own catalogues. Bigger household projects belong in House & Garden, and Australia lists every catalogue we track for Australia in one spot. Check back each time the dates above change, and keep Dan Murphy's bookmarked for a side-by-side look before a party order.
