Mama Juice: Where to get Wine in Singapore

Whether you need something to take the edge off after a long day or you’re throwing a fab dinner party, there’s always a reason to have wine on hand, mama. Here are our fave places to score the best wines in Singapore (at the best prices!)

Does anyone else’s child see a glass of red wine and refer to it as “Mommy juice”? Or is that just us? We’ll admit it: drinking wine is one of those rare pleasures that somehow seemed to take on added importance once we became parents. Yes, it is truly wonderful paired with a great meal, and is a lovely way to unwind after a long day. But man oh man, does anything else come close to relieving the tension of dealing with an unruly toddler? We think not.

So just in case you’re in need of a little vinspiration, check out our gallery of our fave wine shops in Singapore. Cheers, mama!
