We research every wine before we list it: expert ratings, tasting notes and flavour profiles, input from wine experts including sommeliers, and often conversations with the winemakers themselves. A bottle only makes our range if it earns its place on flavour and on value.

Our Top-Rated wines are rated 4.0 or above out of 5 by wine drinkers on a leading wine-rating app, a sign of consistently strong reviews from people who have actually tasted them. See how the rating scale works, or browse all Top-Rated Wines.

Start with our 6 Top-Rated Wines Under $60, hand-picked for great value, and read the guide behind the selection. For more choice, browse Wines Under $50 or Top-Rated Wines under $80.

Begin with easy-drinking, fruit-forward styles: a crisp white such as Sauvignon Blanc, a light red such as Pinot Noir, or a Prosecco. Our “Beginner’s Guide to Wine Tasting” explains what to look for, and our top-rated picks under $60 are a good-value place to begin.

Yes. Message us on WhatsApp with the occasion, your budget and the flavours you enjoy, and we will suggest wines to suit.

Dry wines have little or no sugar left after fermentation; sweet wines keep some of the grapes' natural sugar. Most red and white wines are dry, and a wine can taste fruity and still be dry. Off-dry wines sit in between, with a gentle touch of sweetness. For sweet styles, see our Dessert Wines.

Tannins are natural compounds from grape skins, seeds and oak barrels that give red wine its drying, slightly grippy feel. Cabernet Sauvignon, Nebbiolo (Barolo) and Shiraz are high in tannin; Pinot Noir, Gamay and Merlot are softer. Tannins mellow with age and pair well with protein and fat, which is why bold reds suit steak.

Body is how heavy or rich a wine feels in your mouth, a little like skimmed milk versus whole milk versus cream. Light: Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, Prosecco. Medium: Merlot, Sangiovese (Chianti), unoaked Chardonnay. Full: Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Amarone, oaked Chardonnay. Higher alcohol usually means a fuller body.

Crisp describes wines, usually whites, with refreshing acidity, like a squeeze of lemon: Sauvignon Blanc, Chablis and Albariño are classic examples. Smooth usually describes reds with soft tannins and ripe fruit, such as Merlot, Primitivo and many Australian Shiraz.

Colour hints at grape, age and style. In reds, a pale, see-through ruby usually means a lighter wine (such as Pinot Noir), while deep purple or inky red means a bolder, fuller wine (such as Shiraz or Malbec); reds turn brick or garnet as they age. In whites, pale lemon with green hints suggests a young, crisp wine, while deeper gold suggests oak, age or sweetness.

The vintage is the year the grapes were harvested, shown on the label. Weather differs every year, so vintages of the same wine can taste different. NV (non-vintage) means a blend of wines from several years, common in Champagne and other sparkling wines, made to keep a consistent house style.

Aromatic or off-dry whites such as Riesling and Gewürztraminer handle sweet-savoury sauces and a little heat; sparkling wine cuts through fried dishes; light reds such as Pinot Noir suit roast meats like char siu and Peking duck. Our guide to pairing wine with Asian and local food covers popular local dishes in detail.

Choose wines with a touch of sweetness and moderate alcohol, such as off-dry Riesling, Gewürztraminer or Moscato, or a fruity red with soft tannins. High alcohol and strong tannins make chilli heat feel hotter. See our guide to pairing wine with Asian and local food for more.

Full-bodied reds with firm tannins, such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz or Malbec: the tannins and the fat in the meat soften each other. For leaner cuts, a medium-bodied red such as Merlot or Sangiovese works well.

Keep wine somewhere cool, dark and steady, ideally around 12-16°C, away from the kitchen, windows and direct sun. In Singapore, a room without air-conditioning is too warm for storing wine for long. Store corked bottles on their side. For keeping bottles over months, a wine chiller is the best option.

Sparkling and sweet wines: 6-8°C. Crisp whites and rosé: 8-10°C. Fuller whites: 10-13°C. Light reds: 12-14°C. Full-bodied reds: 15-18°C. In Singapore, room temperature is too warm for reds, so 15-20 minutes in the fridge before serving helps.

Not usually. Decanting helps young, bold reds such as Barolo, Amarone or Cabernet Sauvignon open up (30 to 60 minutes is usually enough), and separates older wines from any sediment. Most whites, rosés and everyday reds are ready to pour.
