Feel every texture and scent with a bottle of finest wine from Wine MNL
More often than not, we associate wine with social gatherings and joyous occasions. I mean, we usually toast around some wine to enjoy a lovely dinner with our friends or with a romantic date. But little did we know that wine can be a health elixir that we can drink if we’re feeling so much stress. That’s why it’s a great time to know about it from a wine lover and self-taught expert, Jason Ong, owner and founder of Wine MNL!
More people got into wine during and after COVID-19
As we talked with Jason Ong, he told us how did their wine venture start. He and his business partner Eric Bill came up with the plan because of their common love for wines, and they have friends who are also fond of drinking it. Before, Jason had no to little knowledge about it, he even thought that all wines are expensive but they just taste the same.
So what’s the turning point? He fell in love with it.
“But when I got to experience pairing food with wines with my brother, I think that’s the point where my attitude changed. I became a lover of wines.”
Even though pandemic happened in our country and all, they did not experience problems to market their products at all. He thinks that because people cannot travel, they can just savor and enjoy a bottle of wine like it lets them experience the world in a unique way.
Jason is passionate about wines and to continue their business. He even mentioned that he always looks for good quality wines that he can share with others. And for him, the key to a successful business is the love or passion for it — that people should see how one likes what he/she’s doing and selling.
In fact, he has two quick tips for those who want to be an entrepreneur like them:
“Do it if it makes you happy. Don’t be afraid to ask questions from people who know more.”
Wine MNL always consider the taste and budget of its customers
Wine MNL is an online shop that offers a wide variety of wines of almost any sort. So far, their best-sellers are Colombelle Rouge (red wine), Colombelle Rosé, and Colombelle Blanc (white wine). Many like these variants because they are great for every day. Deakin Estate Moscato is also a hit because of its sweetness that most Filipinos prefer.
So how does Wine MNL differ from other alcohol/beverage shops? The brand itself is born out of love for wines but the quality is made affordable by lowering their price. Jason and his team also make recommendations to the customer based on their likes and food pairings. In return, they have loyal customers who repeatedly order because of fast service, high-quality products, and budget-friendly price tags. Soon, they’ll have more brands of Italian and French wines on their menu.
To order, just send a DM at Wine MNL at their Instagram account or send a private message at their Facebook account. The team already curated a list of wines of the finest quality while considering your budget. You can send payment through BDO, BPI, or GCash.
So if you’re planning a night of well-deserved relaxation, you don’t have to empty your wallets for that luxury. Red wine or white wine, savor every sip like you are savoring your rest.
