About Us - Bacchus

Bacchus wine shop, located at the heart of Singapore’s shopping district, has been offering a comprehensive range of wines to avid wine lovers for more than 20 years. Established in 1991, Bacchus has been operating staunchly at the basement of Paragon for more than 2 decades. The shop is well-known for providing an outstanding and varied selection of wines. As a result of the vast collection, the shop is tightly packed with wines and customers can browse the available collection at their leisure.

If you wish to skip the discovery process, just approach Bacchus wine owner, Don Tay, who has almost the entire wine inventory of Bacchus stored in his head and has been in the wine industry for more than 40 years. Many of his longstanding customers have become his good friends after countless sessions bonding over the same unfailing passion - food and wine.

In Meininger's Wine Business International, a global wine business publication, writer Jenny Tan astutely named "Bacchus" wine shop as the best wine retailer in "Who's Who in Singapore" article on 23^rd August 2007. Under the same publication, Susanne Brocklehurst analyzed Singapore's wine market in October 2012's "A look at the Singapore market" and attributed Don Tay amongst several prominent wine importers for fostering a strong presence of French wines in Singapore.

During the early days in the 90s, Mr Tay also served as "Lianhe Zaobao Wine Review Challenge" judge alongside other Singaporean wine luminaries such as Ch'ng Poh Tiong and Ignatius Chan.

After 23 years, Mr Tay's youngest daughter, created Bacchus Online in 2014 to extend Bacchus' physical retail foothold to cyberspace. With her strong background in technology and years in IT consulting, she aims to make wine-buying more convenient and hopes to reach out to a larger audience. When it comes to purchasing wines online, Bacchus is a trustworthy establishment that has a physical retail shop in Singapore for more than 20 years. We understand credibility is of utmost importance when purchasing wines online.

Whether you enjoy the charms of the small retail space where you can strike wine conversations with the personable owner or staff, or prefer clicking a button to explore your styles and buy wines online, Bacchus now offers you both.
