Can I collect my order myself instead of delivery?

Pick a collection slot, then bring the OB warehouse reference shown on your order confirmation. Collection hours are Monday to Friday, 9am–12:30pm and 2–5pm (please avoid 12:30–2pm for lunch, excludes public holidays).
Wine Storage
How should I store wine in Singapore's hot climate?
Singapore's tropical climate (28-32C, 80-90% humidity) requires proper wine storage. Store wines in a wine fridge at 12-14C for reds, 8-10C for whites and Champagne. Keep bottles horizontal, away from sunlight and vibration. Without proper storage, wine ages 2-3x faster in Singapore. All our wines are stored in climate-controlled conditions until delivery.
Food Pairing
What French wines pair well with Asian cuisine?
For chilli crab, try Champagne or off-dry Gewurztraminer. For char kway teow, a fruity Beaujolais works beautifully. For satay, Cotes du Rhone with its peppery notes complements the peanut sauce. For dim sum, Champagne or Cremant provides perfect balance. For laksa, try an Alsace Riesling. Our team provides personalized pairing recommendations for Singapore's diverse cuisine.
