Wine discovery becomes more interesting when familiar grapes appear in less familiar places. At Vinflow Wine Bar & Bistro, Chinese wine sits within a broader international collection, inviting guests to explore it alongside wines from established regions around the world.

Our wine range is designed to evolve. That means the exact bottles and taps may change, but the purpose remains the same: to create an approachable setting where wine lovers in Singapore can compare, revisit and discover. Chinese wines are an important part of that conversation.

Three Chinese wine regions represented

Across Vinflow's supplied 32-tap and bottle lists, the Chinese selection is identified with three places: Hebei, Ningxia and the Himalayas. The grapes represented are equally varied, moving between Chardonnay and three red varieties: Marselan, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.

Rather than treating Chinese wine as one narrow category, the collection lets guests see different combinations of place, grape and vintage. It is a compact window into a wine landscape that many Singapore drinkers may still be discovering.

Chinese wines featured on the 32-tap list

The supplied 32-wine selection includes four Chinese wines. From Hebei, there is Chapter and Verse Select Chardonnay 2018 and Chapter and Verse Select Merlot 2016. From Ningxia, the list includes HUWEI “Zhuan” Marselan and Zi Que Yu Xi Merlot 2022.

That mix creates several possible routes through the wall: compare white and red wines from one country, compare two Merlots from different Chinese regions, or place a Chinese example beside the same grape from elsewhere in the international selection.

Chinese Chardonnay and Cabernet in the bottle collection

Vinflow's bottle menu extends the range with wines identified with the Himalayas. The white-wine list includes AllofMe Chardonnay 2022 and Celebre Chardonnay 2022. The red-wine list includes AllofMe Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 and Celebre Cabernet Sauvignon 2018.

For a group, a bottle can turn discovery into a shared conversation. For a more flexible comparison, the self-pour wall allows guests to choose a taste, half glass or full pour from the selections currently connected to the taps. Ask the team what is pouring on the day.

A practical way to begin exploring

You do not need an encyclopaedic knowledge of wine to start. Pick one simple comparison and let the glass do the work:

  • Follow one grape: compare Merlot or Chardonnay across more than one origin when the relevant wines are available.
  • Follow one region: try two wines identified with Hebei or Ningxia and note how the grape changes the experience.
  • Move from white to red: begin with Chardonnay, then explore Merlot, Marselan or Cabernet Sauvignon.
  • Add food to the table: order a selection of shareable plates and make the tasting part of dinner rather than a formal lesson.

The goal is not to find a single “correct” answer. It is to notice what you enjoy, return to it if you wish, and leave room for something unexpected.

An ever-growing wine collection in Singapore

Vinflow's collection is not meant to stand still. As the range changes, we will continue documenting noteworthy bottles, grapes and regions here in the Wine Journal. That includes more detail on Chinese wines as they appear in the programme, as well as guides to the wider international selection.

Because wine selection, vintages and availability can change, the online wine list should be treated as a guide. Contact the team or ask during your visit for the current tap and bottle selection.
