Three reasons why you should visit Singapore's largest wine and whisky event

Back for its fourth edition, Wine & Whisky Week promises to be biggest bash in town with over 500 labels on offer. Taking place from November 1 to 12 at Suntec City East Atrium, the event is free for all to attend. Here’s why you should make your way down… and stumble your way out.

1. Sample over 100 labels of wine and whisky for free

Nobody wants to drop hundreds of dollars on a bottle only to discover that it isn’t up to scratch. Sample and discover a range of sparkling wines, Amarone and in-demand whiskies including a heightened portfolio of cask strength whiskies. And if you find something you love, make a purchase at attractive prices that are up to 50% off the regular retail price.

2. Win a year’s supply of wines and whiskies

Spend  $200 in a single receipt and you might walk away with over $3,000 worth of wines and whiskies. One grand prize winner from the lucky draw goes home with more than 30 bottles but even if that’s not you, spin the sure-win wheel to win from a prize pool worth over $30,000. If you’re a big spender, spend above $10,000 in a single receipt and a Kadeka wine chiller worth $1,358 is yours. Rest assured, there's not going to be a shortage of prizes during this 12-day event.

3. Attend masterclasses hosted by industry experts

Contrary to its name, Wine and Whisky Week is not just about imbibing – it's a chance to learn something new about your poison of choice too. There will be eight insightful masterclasses held by industry experts on topics such as sake appreciation, understanding the wines of Bordeaux and on cask strength whiskies, which have a distinct approach compared to regular whiskies. Tickets can be purchased at $28 per seat here.
