The French Cellar is a wine subscription company based in Singapore.

Contents

History

The company was founded in 2013 by Vincent Morello and Eric Joubert. [1] The wine bottles were selected by the sommelier Nicolas Rebut. It is one of the first online wine subscription companies in Asia. [2]

In May 2019, the French Cellar announced through its Facebook page that operations ceased as of May 27, and launched a process of voluntary liquidation. Deliveries had become irregular in the months before the closure, and some customers lost several hundred dollars in yearly subscriptions paid upfront. [1]

The French Cellar was acquired by Wala Technology Pte Ltd in 2019 and became the Wala Club. [3]

Description

The French Cellar specialized in delivering French wines to homes in Asia. [1]
