BEST WINE SHOPS IN SHANGHAI, BEIJING, HONG KONG & SINGAPORE –
LATEST JULY 2009 EDITION OF TRAVEL+LEISURE SOUTH-EAST ASIA
The latest July 2009 issue of
Travel + Leisure South-East Asia
features an article I wrote which lists the best wine shops in Shanghai, Beijing, Hong Kong and Singapore. The criteria taken into consideration when drawing up the following lists of “Best Wine Shops” in Shanghai, Beijing, Hong Kong and Singapore are:
Pricing
Selection
Range
Quality of wine storage (including temperature and humidity controls)
Signages
Availability of wine accessories
Ease of movement in shop
Spaciousness
Service
Knowledge/Helpfulness of staff
Operation hours
In compiling the best wine shops in Shanghai, Beijing, Hong Kong and Singapore, apart from my personal input, I’ve also called on the help of you readers of our weekly, complimentary e-newsletters “SOA or Sommeliers of Asia” and “GrapeVine”, sent out every Monday and Friday respectively. Their combined mailing lists number more than 3,000 readers around the world. My grateful thanks to all the readers who wrote in with your selections. Here’s the list:
