Wine Sales… True Value?

December 15th, 2011  •  Posted by ching  •  No Comments

With the emergence of all the discount purchases on email nowadays, i feel like being spammed everyday!… At least 10 mailers from these online discount shopping vouchers turned up in my mailbox everyday. No wonder data harvesting and selling of email acct becomes such a hot job. Though not all interests me but im sure all fellow singaporeans love discounts!

Wine sales, not willing to lag behind these waves of discount buying, joined in the bandwagon! Noticed the amount of sales this festive alone probably upped 2-3 folds!..so are they clearing wines or just doing ’sales’ for the sake of it?

When browsing thru the list, always make sure is good value. Some companies might just inflate the selling price before giving the discounts. There are some also giving lesser discounts because they are already selling cheap!

On the whole, know what you buy and open your eyes to clearly see the price before and after discounts.

Good luck and happy shopping this festive!

Was in central Spain recently visiting some wineries and lookinh at developments happening there.

While our market is only starting to know ‘Rioja’ or known commonly as ‘rojak’ wines in our community,the introduction of Spanish wines still present a certain amount of challenges as compared to (…)

Festive = Sparkling?

Festive season is just round the corner, guess everyone is planning for the party ahead. For some, it starts as early as this week, before their friends and colleagues fly back to home in Europe for their family gathering.

For all, the best wine for celebratory has always been something that we (…)

Seems that i will have iphone to thank for more regular postings of blogs. This works better than twitter as there are no limit on words.Back to wines, been busy for the past weeks on travelling and purchasing trips. Made many like-minded friends on the roads, and exploring new wines. (…)

Sorry the Part 2 took so long to be ‘released’. The WC was a distraction and i reckon everyone would be waking up with blurry eyes and out of focus for Wines.. So, let’s get back to the trip….

Continuing from Petra Wines..

Some cultural part of the tour, vising historical sites. (…)

Tuscan Wines….Part 1

May 3rd, 2010  •  Posted by ching  •  32 Comments

Being in the sunniest part of Italy (we all think is all Sunny and bright when we think of Tuscany, of course!) , we definitely have high expectations of the wines produced, that includes having state of the art technology added with some creativity in art of winemaking. (…)

Tuscan Coast….Great food, great wine….

The day we started the tour, proper, the sky is clear and blue. Seeing blue sky gives you the feeling of limitless boundaries and freedom.

What a way to start the day!

After 4 hours of time spent on the bus to the Accommodation at Tuscan Coast, at least a rewarding view from my room…. (…)

Touchdown to Milan Airport

April 5th, 2010  •  Posted by ching  •  28 Comments

Landed this morning, it rained….. 15hours later, it is still raining. Who would expect Milan to have so much ‘water’ at this time of the year!!!! Early spring at 10deg in the day and 6deg in the night?… Gosh.. is this part of the climate change/ global warming after effects? (…)

The usual White

January 27th, 2010  •  Posted by ching  •  No Comments

Somehow doesn’t feel right talking about white (as oppose to red for the coming CNY) at the start of the year.

As we all know, white is typically not associated with something positive, except where we express pureness in Wedding, which is clearly shown on the color of the gown, or Peace, with the (…)

To all Whisky Drinkers….an amazing discovery

November 16th, 2009  •  Posted by ching  •  No Comments

With the long awaited APEC finally over, we wonder if more spirits or wines has been consumed over the week.

Anyway, was just reading this news when it awed me totally. A combination of championing human exploration and something of historical importance to be brought back to the ‘birthplace’ at (…)
