In seeking magic moments caught in a bottle we have searched all over the wine producing world – from the ethereal wines of Burgundy in France, to the robust show stoppers from the Barossa Valley in Australia. However finding them is just the beginning of the story and the journey from the cellar door to the tables of Asia is a long one in a steel box. Through an unbroken temperature controlled supply chain to our seventeen wine shops and two restaurants, thousands of people are now able to experience some of the world’s best wines the way the winemaker intended.
This commitment not only to the wines, but also to their careful transportation and storage, has created partnerships with leading Singapore icons such as Singapore Airlines, Raffles Hotel, Tower Club, Hilton Hotel, The Intercontinental, Duty Free Services (DFS) and the Ritz-Carlton Millennia. Now we bring that same commitment to the Philippines.

    Traditionally wine was seen as a “pretentious” product in U.S, but by the late 1990’s to early 2000’s, wine started to become a popular social drink for the masses. In addition, the market became more adventurous, demanding unusual “undervalued” wines instead of the traditional wines such as Chardonnay. The adventurousness was driven by “Generation X” and created a significant opportunity for wineries to meet this new unconventional demand. As the industry is still currently in its growth stage, the industry attractiveness is high. Wine is a relatively high margin product, and there is increasing demand domestically and internationally.

    The main industry players in the dessert wine industry were Canandaigua and E. & J. Gallo. The latter started in 1933 and became the largest wine producer in the world, first producing cheap dessert wine, and later moving to upscale type wines that allowed the company to enjoy many world renowned awards. Gallo’s business plan proved successful in the early days of the company as its product offering was focused on the cheaper fortified wines that appealed to the lower end consumer market. The company cemented its future profitability by solid vertical integration; purchasing its raw materials (grapes) from local growers by forming a long-term strategic alliance and controlling the transport of the finished product by its company owed transport. Essentially, the company had integrated all distribution of its product from transport distillation and final transport to retail distributors. As the market shifted in the 1980’s, Gallo made the strategic move to more upscale products using higher quality varietal grapes with the intent to capture…

    The Chilean wine industry has undergone numerous and profound transformations over the past 30 years – its quality revolution led by the complete technological renovation during the 1980s, the export boom of the 1990s, and the new terroir developments during the 2000 decade. This transformation has allowed a new generation of talented viticulturists and winemakers to capitalize on Chile’s viticultural paradise and to produce World Class Wines of unique character and personality. Chile is the world’s eighth largest wine producer and the fifth largest exporter, reaching a market share of 8 per cent by volume of the global international wine market at the close of 2010. However, and most importantly, Chile exports 70 per cent of its wine production, making it the world’s most globalized wine industry, with great flexibility, innovation and a long-term commitment to quality and service second to none. With 150 destination countries and 1.5 billion consumers per year, Chilean wines are positioned as the country’s most emblematic and best known world ambassador. Despite this undeniable success, Chilean wines face very high levels of competition in the different world markets from many appellations and brands, and its average prices are substantially lower than those of its competitors. As a consequence, the industry’s present profitability levels are low, and there is an urgent need to elevate the premium positioning and average prices to achieve a sustainable return in the long term. Making decisive progress toward positioning Chile as a world-class appellation for the production of premium and superior wines, gaining additional image and value is the only possible response to the competitive challenges the industry face today.…
