If Dionysus were to open a wine bar in the 21st century, this would be it. Clad in vibrant hues of magenta, luxurious patterned upholstery, and vintage accents all over, Big Wine Freaks screams intoxication with a side of sophistication. Opening its doors this June, the champagne and wine bar is the latest addition to Singapore's growing list of wine joints, and it might just be the new trendiest spot in town for oenophiles and gastronomes alike.
The extensive and progressive wine menu sets out to impress – we’re talking 500 labels and 2000 bottles housed in the bar’s wine cellar. Each bottle is sourced from micro-farms that champion sustainable farming practices. And instead of sticking to familiar names, the finest Champagnes and Burgundies are selected from a new generation of wine producers. Natural wine enthusiasts will also take delight in the diverse selection of organic wines from the French regions of Jura, Beaujolais and Loire, as well as those from vineyards in Spain, Austria and Italy.
As far as the saying “eat, drink, and be merry” goes, good wine is only great when paired with delicious food. Chef de Cuisine Ash who hails from glitzy F&B establishments like Sago House and Burnt Ends takes care of the menu here, with a series of sharing dishes heavily focused on raw seafood. A buzzing open kitchen also melts seamlessly into the dining space, allowing diners to get in on all the action. Diners can look forward to plates of Japanese tuna, oysters and caviar, a decadent uni toast, king crab, Spanish tapas-style grilled padron peppers, gougeres, and braised lamb shoulder.
Beyond food and drinks, the bar’s got all the aesthetics sorted as well, because all your drinks will be served in fancy glassware from brands from Austria, France and Japan, while dishes will be artfully plated on dinnerware designed by Italian fashion designer Alessandro Michele.
