ESSE Change Double Applemint Wine - 1 Carton (10 Packs)

Both ESSE Change Double Applemint cartons sit at the same live price of A$229.50 in Australia this week, which makes the ESSE Change Double Applemint Wine vs Orange category difference a question of the variant label and the SKU, not the price. Wine is SKU SS-277; Orange is SKU SS-259. If you have ever stared at two near-identical ESSE titles and asked which is which, this record answers it: the two listings sit inside the same ESSE brand boundary, and if you order by name alone you can end up with the other variant. The SKU is the part that separates them.

The Short Answer: Two SKUs, One Price, One Brand Boundary

ESSE Change Double Applemint Wine (SKU SS-277) and ESSE Change Double Applemint Orange (SKU SS-259) are two separate product records inside the same ESSE category. Both are sold as 1 carton (10 packs), both list at A$229.50 per carton in Australia right now (regular price A$270.00), and both appear under the ESSE navigation category. The only title difference between the two records is the variant word: Wine or Orange. That single word is exactly why shoppers mix these two up when they order in a hurry.

Mapped Category: Both Sit Inside the ESSE Boundary

On the Xavriqo catalogue, both SKUs map to the ESSE brand category, so the navigation path for each record is category → ESSE → product. If you browse the ESSE category page, you will find Wine and Orange listed side by side. That is convenient for comparing carton prices, but it also means two near-identical titles sit next to each other and need a careful read.

For the wider ESSE record set, the ESSE Category Guide 2026 maps the full brand boundary and the current carton prices. This article zooms into the two Applemint variants inside that map.

Boundary Check: Applemint Wine vs Applemint Orange

The boundary check for this pair is mostly a full-title reading exercise. Strip away the shared line name and the carton size, and the separating word is the variant:

The shared part — Change Double Applemint — is identical on both records, and the carton format (1 carton, 10 packs) is identical too. So when you compare the two listings, the only boundary marker in the title is Wine versus Orange, and the only unambiguous boundary marker in the data is the SKU. If the listing you are looking at says Applemint but does not show a variant word, check the SKU before you treat it as either record.

Identity Check: SKU, Carton Format & Live AUD Prices

The identity facts below were read live from the Xavriqo API on 2026-08-07, so they match the product pages at the time of writing:

  • SKU SS-277 — ESSE Change Double Applemint Wine — 1 carton (10 packs) — A$229.50 (regular A$270.00)
  • SKU SS-259 — ESSE Change Double Applemint Orange — 1 carton (10 packs) — A$229.50 (regular A$270.00)

The AUD prices are identical, so this pair will not separate on price in Australia. If your only filter is the carton price, both records pass the same check. The variant and the SKU are the fields that actually separate the two records — that is the ESSE Applemint Wine vs Orange price Australia 2026 reality: same price, different record.

Four-Step Verification Before You Order

Because the two titles look almost identical, use the four-step check before you confirm any order:

  1. Match the SKU — SS-277 is Wine, SS-259 is Orange. The SKU is the boundary.
  2. Match the full title — read the variant word at the end of the title, not the first few words.
  3. Check the category — both belong to ESSE; if a listing claims a different brand folder, treat it as a different record.
  4. Check the carton format — both records are 1 carton (10 packs) at A$229.50.

If anything still looks ambiguous, message us on WhatsApp, give the SKU (SS-277 or SS-259), and confirm the carton price before you pay. A quick SKU check takes less time than returning the wrong variant.

Catalogue Context: The ESSE Change Double Applemint Line

Both records belong to the Change Double Applemint line inside the ESSE range. ESSE is a super-slim format, and readers who prefer a lighter-style, mint-forward profile (a taste-only observation) tend to recognise the Applemint variants by their fruit and mint character. Wine and Orange are the two Applemint entries in the line, and they sit at the same price point in the 2026 catalogue.

In the wider catalogue, the ESSE brand boundary holds five published records, and the ESSE Category Guide 2026 lists them with their current carton prices. For a brand-level view of the ESSE boundary, start there; for a variant-level decision, this Wine versus Orange record is the one to keep.
