UNIQUE FOOD AND WINE

SOMMELIER OF THE YEAR


Husband and wife team, Jo and Klaus Schwarz who jointly own Ampelia Fine Wines Pte Ltd, has recently acquired Unique Food And Wine Pte Ltd.
 
Unique Food and Wine’s main representation is wines from Austrian state-of-the-art wineries, with a discerning selection of fine brands from Germany, France and Northern Italy. Together, the two companies Unique and Ampelia are poised to be the undisputed market leaders and experts in Singapore for Cold Climate Wines from Central Europe. 
 
The fascination of Cold Climate Wines lies in the perfect balance of rainfall and sunshine during long seasons, and the temperature differences between day and night. These factors allow the grapes to ripen slowly. The wines develop a fruity acidity and a wonderful aromatic balance, which makes them the perfect companions for many of our Asian favorite dishes. It is the appreciation for such wine-food pairing that has propelled the couple’s passion to curate indigenous originals from the Cold Climate region of Europe.
 
It is thus Jo and Klaus’ vision to entrench Unique Food and Wine and Ampelia Fine Wine’s specialization in offering the largest selection of wines from this region that are handcrafted, full of character, and from family owned businesses that are not only young and innovative but also firmly rooted in tradition and culture.
