Grande Vida Tobacconist is a bottle shop at 5 Hoe Chiang Road, in Chinatown, Singapore. It holds a Google rating of 4.3 from 68 reviews.
A good bottle shop is judged on the range of its wines and spirits, and on whether the staff can suggest a bottle to match a meal or a budget. Shops that also pour by the glass let a customer taste before committing to a full bottle, which is a sensible way to choose. It helps to say what you usually like, such as light whites or full reds, and to ask about storage for older bottles. Regulars often return to the same shelves and ask for tasting notes on new arrivals.
Hoe Chiang Road is a short street of shophouses near the heart of Chinatown, which makes this shop a pleasant stop for a bottle on the way home.
