It’s the most beautiful time of the year again. Christmas is fast approaching, and with that comes the time to shower your loved ones with gifts.
Friends who never fail to turn up to a drinking jio are relatively easy to shop for. The tricky part is knowing where to shop for good alcohol with reasonable bargains.
You can consider heading to iShopChangi at the airport. With its diverse selection of wine and spirits, there’s always something for your buddies who appreciate either classic whisky, refreshing gin and tonic, or silky wine.
To top it off, there are also deals of up to 40% off, with tax and duties completely absorbed.
Even if you aren’t flying abroad this holiday via Vaccinated Travel Lanes (VTLs), you can relive the duty-free shopping experience that you’ve sorely missed and stock up for the Christmas and New Year holidays.
Few things in life can beat the moments spent laughing and catching up with friends at Christmas parties over drinks.
While you take in the latest tea about who’s dating who in your social circle, go for a sweet rosé sparkling wine that’s light on the palate and complements almost every cuisine and dessert.
This Bottega Il Vino Dell’amore Petalo Pink Manzoni Moscato Rosé will surely earn you some brownie points with the clique when you bring it over to an upcoming potluck.

Another selection that’s caught our eye in their online catalogue is the Hendrick’s Lunar Gin. A well-known brand to gin lovers, this flavour fits right into the Christmas theme with its floral notes balanced with warm baked spices.

The Paradise Tree Snake may have misjudged its landing and ended up on the car.
The 69-year-old was reportedly upset over his neighbour's refusal to apologise.
False claims include that GCB transactions occur without government checks on beneficial owners' identities.
The suspect casually watched as the woman became consumed by flames.
The thief left the wallet and more than RM200 behind, presumably to mislead the 72-year-old…
Such poor sportsmanship.
