ABOUT US
Friends first.
Then the wine.
A small Shatin team that believes great bottles taste better when they're shared.
OUR STORY
It began with a Friday tasting table.
Every Friday, Robin would open a few bottles for friends — a Burgundy someone had never tried, an Islay malt that split the table. Word spread, the table grew, and friends started asking where to buy what they'd tasted.
So we started importing. Today Robin's Friends Company works directly with estates and distilleries across France, Australia, Scotland and Japan — and every label on our shelf has been opened, argued over and approved at that same table.

WHAT WE BELIEVE
Three simple rules
We taste before we sell
No bottle reaches our shelf without passing the Friday table. If we wouldn't pour it for friends, we won't sell it to you.
Fair, honest prices
Buying direct and keeping our store out of the CBD means we pass real savings on — from HK$95 everyday reds to cellar-worthy icons.
Friends, not customers
Ask us anything on WhatsApp, drop by for a chat, or join a tasting. Good advice is always free here.
