DFS Venture Singapore is a bottle store at 750 Chai Chee Rd in Bedok, holding a 4.3-star Google rating. A good bottle store does more than line up the usual beer, wine and spirits; in Singapore's heat, the better ones keep stock cool and away from sunlight, because wine stored warm for even a few weeks can suffer. Knowledgeable staff are worth listening to as well, whether the question is a pairing for dinner or a gift that will not embarrass. Regulars also plan ahead: retail liquor sales stop at 10.30pm, so the late-night dash is not an option. For those living around Chai Chee and Bedok, this is a convenient local stop, and the rating suggests its customers leave satisfied.
