Hi, welcome to all wine lovers. Just sharing some of my experiences as part of the consumers of wine in Malaysia.
I prefer wine around the range of RM60 to RM100.
Currently, I would prefer the Errazuric Cab Sauv, 2010, Chile Wine for around rm85 and Banfi Col Di Sasso , 2009, from Italy at over RM100.
This thread is open for everyone to share their point of view as well as their experiences. However there are some questions that i would like to direct to all the readers of this post :

1. What are the price range you would offer for a decent bottle of wine you occasionally drink?
2. For frequent drinkers or wine lovers, would you prefer to enjoy a fine bottle of wine of specific branding or will any wine of any branding be enough to satisfy your craving?
3. If you are new to wine, how much would you pay for your first bottle of wine?

Feel free to share

for a bottle of stone's ginger wine i'd pay RM 40 anyday.

I regularly drink quality white wine & red wine..so i willing to spend RM100-RM150 per bottle..

Worth my weekend to drink this stuff

hm...if just drink at home, i usually buy cheap one. those below RM40 at giant

if dine outside and for special occasion, then around RM100 to RM150 lo

eu yan sang has good wine also. healthy ones ranging from 60-150 bucks. can be used to drink direct or masak ayam.

I still having a 2001 French wine bought from langkawi ~ 2007..dunno how much now? Got it for RM12 haha

Should be kerosene. Not wine.

RM12 for a bottle of wine? Is it drinkable?

If wth Tax included, It's ~ RM50 in KL lor..Sumore 2001 hor..If in KL..got such an old wine meh?

i think the ranges of wine in KL is much larger. would be easy to find if you have the source

Huh, You probably haven't been to langkawi haha

i saw in a movie about food before, they went to some supermarket something like tesco and they are trying to buy back some food to go back home cook, 1 bottle of wine is Euro0.99


and yea, RM12 in langkawi is like RM30 in other part of malaysia. Sometimes Giant got sell wine that cost below RM20, also you can find quite a few brand which cost around RM20 to RM30 in Giant too

PS: oh ya, stimix punya wine i don't think drinkable now liao, maybe can drink without perut sakit la, but taste all sure run away liao. and i doubt since he got only 1 bottle, chances are he storing it in the correct place......lol

your wine is actually kerosense. pour into your car and start it up man

i lol-ed at this . anyways i've been to langkawi no doubt the prices of wine and other alcoholic beverages there are dirt cheap.

Haighhh... Kecian me on that single bottle of 2001 red wine....Thinking of keeping even longer till 2020 so that can sell for >RM1k

u sure it didnt turn sour ah ? as far as i know, u dun have wine chiller leh ? and keeping it inside your house instead of a basement isnt a good idea as temperature differences will affect the wine and at most instances will turn the wine sour into vinegar

u nub

u go open it and see, i think the wine cork will also patah liao when u try to open it

and whatever liquor it is, once it being bottled, the age tarak guna liao de

I thought the longer we keep the wine the better & snoother the taste...sigh..Likedat better throw away liao that bottle...or..upcar...nxt TT I bring and we yumseng together wth vkeong haha

if u bring that wine imma go order shark fin sup coz vinegar is wat we need

i think u prepare to think a way on how to take out the cork from the bottle better

Screw kaw-kaw?? haha

u screw liao the cork patah 1/2 inside...u screw lo

chances are high la that will happened. usually those that bottled for long liao if not keep at certain angle and at those special room will face this problem de

beak the cork, i standby filter

i would go up to thousands for a bottle of good wine

anyways, lemme answer all these questions

1. Any price ranging from RM50-RM150
2. I dont have any specific brand that i would like to drink. just a beginner.
3. I would certainly like to start with the most affordable wine IF i am starting to drink / if its my first bottle of wine.

where do you guys normally get your wine? hypermarket?

kedai ubat cina

i would pay around 60RM to 80RM

If you know the disti price of wine before it gets to the retailer, my guess is most people will stop buying from retailers. The markup is ridiculous.

I just took a case of Reymos Sparkling White from my supplier the other day (6 bottles) cos my other half loves sparkling white. Each bottle is only around RM 32... I've seen the same exact same bottle selling for 90~120 in retail shops.. Even online, it's being sold for 70+..

Find a wine that you like, and start getting to know the disti that carries it. It helps to buy in cases as you can negotiate for better pricing. My distributor says wines here are expensive partly because of tax, and the other main contributor is retailer markup.

OK, just to update. After upcar & your comment, I stored the wine inside my fridge till Yesterday when I atlast bought a gooding cork opener. Yes liao.. that cork patah & crumbled inside the wine.. ...Thereafter me korek wth chopstick & luckily managed to take out that cork. The remaining of the cork pieces..me using filter nia when I pour to the glass

The best... yeah... that 2001 wine..tasted so nice.. much better than those I tasted so far...no kerosene or vinegar smell.. just fruity, dry & not sweet feeling... gooding for sure ...So who say keeping for years no good ..well except for the cork...

Oh BTW, it;s not french wine.. it's Australian.

How much you willing to pay for this ?


and this ?



Both are old world and French

As others said.. Not the years but how you keep it.

If you dun keep it chill ~ 10-13C and dun tilt the bottle wth the wine touching the cork, no hope liao

I'm curious about people who judge a wine by how much it costs

obviously if can drink 1990 beaucaillou and 2000 mouton the person definitely know how to keep it
Was in wine cooler all the while mate

Congratulations! Both are very good wine expensive too.

Drink and then hold your bladder

What do you think of these?

Me too.. I can tell a good wine from a bad wine by sniffing and tasting, but not by its price.

I've had fantastic wines for dirt cheap, and had crappy ones for very expensive prices.

I would pay RM 150 onwards.

good wine u have it there buddy.. been working with italian wines for past few years... got 2 btls of chateau la tour 1982.. keep it as investment.. bought it for RM 8181 now value at 10k EACH.....

Enjoy the wine dear...value may have gone up but not easy to sell.

Cheers!

anyone can recommend a good and affordable white wine?
Wine newbie, often overwhelmed by all the different wine in hypermarket stores... Normally just tembak but didn't like them after tried.
Prefer fruity and less-dry type.

Cloudy Bay

My favourite

i not a expect in red wine but my personally like jacob creek (Cabernet Sauvignon) prices is reasonable and taste so good not only that it get so many awards too. Any comment on this jacob creek brand? thanks

for me i think my price should be around RM120 per wine @@!

It becomes vinegar.

In Malaysia, never buy wines below RM30 those are terrible! If you guy want to try good wine try purple angel. It is a Chile wine but it is quite an expensive range. President Obama serve this wine during all his functions.

1. Any price, as long as the wine catches my eye. =D
2. I don't buy the same bottle unless my other half likes it, it's a wide adventure in the world of wine, i always buy a box of 12 all different types, sparkling, rose, red, white, anything!
3. My first bottle of wine is a Rose, since malaysia is so hot, a chilled rose would be great to quench my thirst ! <3

Next time if you think the cork is dried and will patah inside, try pushing the cork inside, then use a clean ribbon to pull it out, need to use a bit man power to do so cause will create vacuum.

Refrigerator de air very dry, the cork will definitely dry and crack if kept inside long time, but then not all wine will improve after aging, need to see what type of wine then only can know.

Btw, your conversation with Upcar is very funny, thanks for the laugh. xD

RM50 per bottle is the max I am willing to pay.
