Dedicated to the appreciation of wine, gastronomy and conviviality.
The Society was founded in 1965, the year of the nation itself, and has kept its table for six decades. A society of members, registered in Singapore, gathered by one conviction: that fine wine, good food and better company are among life's quiet achievements. Our cellar, built patiently across those decades, anchors every dinner. Membership is by introduction.
Our Constitution charges the Committee to build, whenever possible, a comprehensive cellar of wines for the use of the Society. Six decades of committees have kept that charge. The result is a cellar of more than two thousand bottles, professionally kept in a temperature controlled bonded warehouse in Singapore, with vintages reaching back across five decades. It is a cellar with one purpose: nothing in it is traded, and everything in it is destined for the Society's table, opened when its moment arrives.
The wines poured at our last dinner appear below, drawn as ever from the Society cellar.

Membership is by introduction, and it begins at dinner. A prospective member joins us first as a guest of a member, customarily at two dinners, so that the Society and its guest may take each other's measure at the table, where it matters. Thereafter a member proposes and another seconds, the name is submitted to the Honorary Secretary, and election rests at the absolute discretion of the Committee. The Society is limited by its Constitution to 250 members.
The Society has been registered in Singapore since 1965 and is governed by its Constitution: an honorary committee, elected each year at the Annual General Meeting, serves the members. The Constitution is provided to every member on election.
