SINGAPORE – You can now purchase premium wines, champagnes and sakes at your fingertips from iShopChangiWines.com, Singapore’s first online luxury e-commerce platform offering duty and Goods and Services Tax (GST)-absorbed priced alcohol – even when you are not travelling out of Singapore.
A joint collaboration between Changi Airport Group and DFS Group, the online platform will offer 140 quality products from some of the world's most sought-after brands, as well as DFS travel exclusives (where travellers can only get at the airport when they travel, will now be available on the website exclusively too). Consumers can purchase up to 30 liters (equivalent to ~40 bottles) of tax and duty-absorbed wines, champagnes and sakes a day.
“The launch of the new iShopChangiWines.com e-shopping site marks Changi Airport latest move in making shopping accessible to consumers even if they do not have a boarding pass to fly. Not only do they get to pick from the wide selection of premium products specially curated by DFS, they will also enjoy the privileges presented by Changi Rewards, the airport’s loyalty rewards programme,” said Teo Chew Hoon, Group Senior Vice President, Airside Concessions at Changi Airport Group.
