You can now buy tax & duty-absorbed wines, champagnes & sakes in S'pore even if you're not travelling

Here's some good news for drinkers.

Experience premium without Duties and Taxes

DFS Group and Changi Airport Group have come together to launch an online platform where all shoppers can purchase duty and GST-absorbed wines, champagnes, and sakes.

This means that you are eligible to purchase them even if you're not travelling.

This is because DFS absorbs all duties and taxes on your purchases when you make the orders through their website iShopChangiWines.com.

But all you need to know is that you're not paying it.

Free delivery and consultation

iShopChangiWines.com offers more than 140 products across the categories, including DFS travel exclusives.

Expect a range of tastes, from floral and fruity to spicy.

You can purchase up to 30L of duty and tax-absorbed beverages a day (equivalent to about 40 bottles).

Here's a quick look at some beverages on the site:

And the travel-exclusives, which ranges from S$28 - S$99.

If you can’t decide what suits you best, the platform also provides personalised service from a DFS wine connoisseur, where they will be able to dish out advice and provide customised recommendations.

Complimentary delivery is available for orders above S$150, while those who spend below S$150 can cash-and-carry their purchases from Changi Airport Terminal 3, Level 1 (Arrival Hall).

If you're not a heavy drinker, you might be wondering when you'll ever hit the upper limit of 30L.

But think big: For weddings, parties, and corporate events such as D&Ds, the 30L limit and free delivery is almost the solution to everything.
