Wine & Spirits Promotions Kuala Lumpur: Mr. Chow Liquor Store
Monica Tindall
Few liquor stores can claim their origin story begins in a cult Hong Kong comedy-horror film—but then again, Mr. Chow Liquor Store doesn’t do ordinary. Inspired by the irreverent genius of actor and director Stephen Chow, the brand takes its cue from Out of the Dark, where absurdity and thrills go hand in hand. The store’s quirky caricature logo channels Chow’s on-screen alter ego, blending mischief with unmistakable charm. In Chinese, “Mr. Chow” translates to “酒先生” or “Mr. Wine”—a fitting figurehead for a shop that champions good bottles with personality. And just like a Stephen Chow film, the offering is fun, accessible, and surprisingly clever. Locals might call it “Peng Leng Jeng”—a Cantonese expression meaning great quality at a great price. Or, more simply, put a bang for your buck with a grin.
Wine & Spirits Promotions Kuala Lumpur: Mr. Chow Liquor Store
We take advantage of Mr. Chow Liquor Store’s June promotions with upgrades to next-day delivery with a minimum purchase. We start with some crowd-pleasers and try a few new bottles in their range, too.
1. Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut Champagne [750ML] – RM 330
We begin, naturally, with Champagne. But not just any Champagne—Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut is a classic French cuvée known for its graceful balance and Art Nouveau aesthetics. Crafted with Pinot Noir, Meunier and Chardonnay, this sparkling wine offers harmony: green apple, white flowers and a whisper of toast from extended lees aging.
Champagne, despite popular belief, is not just for special occasions. In France, it’s enjoyed on Tuesdays just as readily as at weddings. With a price point of RM 330, this bottle bridges the gap between celebration and casual elegance—proof that sophistication needn’t be reserved for milestones alone.
2. Moët & Chandon Rosé Impérial [I Love You Edition, 750ML] – RM 315
Looking for a bit more blush in your bubbles? Enter the Moët & Chandon Rosé Impérial—a romantic Champagne dressed in its Valentine’s Day best. While the limited-edition label may hint at candlelit dinners and love notes, the contents are far from a gimmick.
This rosé is a structured, fruit-forward sparkling wine with red berry notes, floral undertones and a dry, vibrant finish. It’s textbook Moët: polished, confident and ready for any occasion. At RM 315, it also makes a refined gift—whether you’re wooing a partner, caring for a friend, or simply enjoying some much-deserved self-love.
3. Pinot Gris Alsace, Domain Andre Lorentz [750ML] – RM 138
Alsace is a region that sits on the border of France and Germany, and its wines often straddle the best of both worlds: French finesse meets German precision. This Domaine Andre Lorentz Pinot Gris showcases the style beautifully—rich stone fruit, gentle spice and a rounded mouthfeel, all supported by a backbone of acidity that keeps things lively.
Often confused with its Italian cousin Pinot Grigio, Pinot Gris from Alsace is more opulent, often with a hint of residual sugar that plays well with spicy dishes. At RM 138, it’s an ideal companion for dim sum, Thai salads or even satay skewers.
4. Caliterra Reserva Carménère 2022 [750ML] – RM 81
Chile’s signature grape, Carménère, was long mistaken for Merlot—until DNA testing set the record straight in the 1990s. Now, it stands proudly on its own. Caliterra’s 2022 Reserva offers a fine example of the grape’s potential: notes of blackberry, capsicum, cocoa and soft spice, with medium tannins and a plush finish.
Carménère’s story is a reminder that sometimes being mistaken can lead to greater recognition. At RM 81, this bottle delivers extraordinary value—proof that you don’t need to spend big to drink well.
5. Sanwa IIchiko [720ML] – RM 110
From France and Chile, we hop across the sea to Japan, where Sanwa IIchiko awaits. This is not sake, but shōchū, a distilled spirit that’s often misunderstood outside of Japan. Lighter than whisky, drier than sake and alcohol level between both, shōchū is ideal for hot dates and food-pairing adventures.
IIchiko is made from barley and offers a clean, mild profile with hints of cereal and a savoury umami edge. Sip it neat, on the rocks, or with soda. At RM 110, it’s a gateway to a category that deserves far more global attention.
6. Hakutsuru Josen Karakuchi [1800ML] – RM 100
Now, for those who prefer sake in more generous quantities, Hakutsuru Josen Karakuchi comes in a full 1.8-litre bottle—a nod to tradition and hospitality. “Karakuchi” translates to “dry taste,” and that’s exactly what you’ll find here: clean lines, subtle rice notes, and a refreshing finish that makes this sake exceptionally food-friendly.
This is the kind of sake that pairs as well with grilled meats and karaage chicken as it does with a humble bowl of ramen. At RM 100 for such volume, it’s also a fantastic introduction for those who’ve been curious but unsure where to start.
June 2025: Good Things Come to Those Who Order More Than One Bottle
