Our Wine & Food Pairing Tips
🥂 Champagne & Sparkling
The all-rounder for reunion dinners — pairs beautifully with cold starters, dim sum, and fried dishes, while its bubbles cut through richness and refresh the palate between courses.
🍷 White Wine
Best with steamed seafood, light vegetable dishes, and delicate flavours — a crisp, mineral white lets the freshness of the ingredients shine without overpowering.
🍷 Red Wine
Suited to braised meats, roasted or Chinese-style grilled dishes, and richer wok-fried mains — a soft, fruit-forward red complements the depth of soy, five-spice, and caramelized flavours.
🌕 Mid-Autumn Tip
Pair a lightly sweet or off-dry white with mooncakes and dessert courses — it balances the richness of lotus paste and salted egg yolk beautifully.
Bring home the right bottle for your reunion table this Mid-Autumn — or any night worth celebrating.
