Benefits of Engaging an Alcohol Delivery Service 

You’ll Save A LOT of Time! 

Not all liquor stores will house your favourite drink. Sometimes, you may have to travel some distance to obtain them.

Imagine travelling down to the nearest liquor store that’s miles away to get your favourite booze and making that return journey.

Now think about what you could have done with the amount of time saved with an alcohol delivery service. You could’ve typed another critical report that maximises your day’s productivity. You could also have binged on additional episodes of your favourite Netflix show. 

Most alcohol delivery services can send your orders to the designated location within 45 minutes to an hour! Think about the immense amount of time you would’ve saved from making rounds of trips just to stock up your cooler in a year! Time is money, my friend! 

You’ll Save A LOT of Energy!   

Carrying cans and bottles of alcohol can sometimes mirror resistance training in the gym. Let’s not even get to your other groceries. Bottles of alcohol themselves can be heavy enough for you to stop every few steps just to take a breather. 

An alcohol delivery service will save you all that tiresome travel and extra weight training by delivering your favourite liquor right to your doorsteps!

There’s Peace of Mind 

Carrying liquor is heavy enough. Bringing costly beverages onto places such as public transport will not only take a toll on you physically but mentally. You have to continually keep a lookout to make sure your spirits are in safe conditions. 

With an alcohol delivery service, you won’t have to bear the consequences of any mishandling of alcohol during transportation. 

It’s Cost-Effective 

Whether you’re ordering in bulk to store up your supply or preparing for a party, many alcohol delivery services would provide FREE delivery when you order in large quantities. Additionally, to entice more spending, it’s also not uncommon for them to offer several bundle deals. 

Not only it saves you time and energy, but it also saves you lots of unnecessary expenditure from making repeated trips and buying in smaller quantities. 

If you’re not on a rush to receive alcohol, many companies also offer complimentary delivery if it’s done on the next day.  

Say Goodbye to Social Stigmas! 

Drinking alcohol is still not a widely accepted lifestyle even in most liberals of countries. It’s unfortunate that people who drink a lot of often stereotyped as jobless folks suffering from depression. 

To save yourself from unnecessary gossip from your neighbours, you can contact a professional who will do the “dirty job” for you. They wouldn’t fear judgement as it’s apparent that they’re working.  

They Can Do Wonders in Large Events and Celebrations! 

By now, you’d probably know that engaging an alcohol delivery service will save you time, effort and money. Yet, these services are still businesses that seek to understand your needs. They know that many of you are probably ordering it for a party or a celebration. That’s why they have gotten ready some amazing delights up their sleeves to enhance your celebratory mood! 

Companies like Mabuk Monkey offers in-house cooler boxes which allow your alcohol to stay chill and ready-to-consume upon delivery. You can even get to keep the cooler boxes! 

To complement your liquor-drinking experience, Alcohaul also offers a library of bar snacks, drinking games and beverage-handling utensils for you to choose from. 

Cellarbration goes beyond delivering alcohol and also provides a one-stop beverage solution for large events— for example, mobile bar services with bartenders, as well as DIY cocktail activity stations.

You Can Still Get Your Favourite Booze Late Into the Night!

If you’ve been following the latest updates from authorities, you would know that no F&B establishments are allowed to sell alcohol beyond 10.30 pm. Hence, if you’re craving some booze late at night, companies like Prime Liquor offers 24-hour delivery services. 

Cost of Alcohol Delivery Services

On average, most alcohol delivery companies charge around $5-$25 per trip. However, many of them offer complimentary delivery services if you’re ordering a minimum of $50 to $150 worth of beverages. 

Hence, alcohol delivery is definitely a highly practical option for those who frequently drinks or organises events.  

Pro tips that will make you look sophisticated around alcohol  

The act of drinking alcohol tends to get a bad rep, even among those who drink.

Thanks to Hollywood, alcohol has been related to unruly behaviours, vomiting and coerced flings.

On the other spectrum, there are those annoying, ostentatious wine snobs, with their nonstop flavour profile dissertations. These are the people whom we secretly laugh at when they mispronounce Aglianico.

While alcohol can bring out the worst in people, it can also bring out the best. Let’s find out how we can be our best selves around alcohol!

Pour and serve the right way

Learning how to pour spirits into a glass will help preserve its aroma.

If you don’t know how to open a champagne bottle, please watch the video above. It could save someone a trip to the hospital!

Preserving alcohol is also another skill to master. Spirits like white wine are best kept and served chill; use a cloth to pour instead of using your bare hands. The latter will create warmth in the wine and cause it to lose its acidity and aroma.

Glassware knowledge 

Glassware knowledge is also vital in preserving the aroma. This includes knowing how to hold a glass properly.

Stem wares such as the Champagne Flute are best used for sparkling wines; the glass’s tiny opening preserves the carbonation. The carbonation makes the spirit both a treat to the sight and palate with its effervescence. To think of it, how is a wine sparkling without the sparkles or bubbles? Hold a Champagne class by its stem, to prevent the warmth of your hands from affecting its spark.

A snifter glass is best used to warm up spirits, such as Brandy. Unlike the Champagne Flute, hold the Brandy Snifter by the bowl and not the stem, because the hand warms up the Brandy, causing it to release its aromas.

Basic wine knowledge 

It doesn’t look pleasant on you when you don’t know how to articulate what you’ve ordered. It can be an unfortunate, yet sometimes funny faux pas, especially when people mispronounce the wine with a heavy Singaporean accent. While you don’t have to articulate it nasally like in French or speak with a lisp like in Castilian Spanish, knowing how to pronounce phonetically is good enough.

If you didn’t personally order the bottle, don’t act like you know how to pronounce it, especially when you don’t speak the language. Politely ask the host how to say it.

Learn how to read a wine label is also very important. This section’s cardinal sin would probably be mistaking the wine’s region for its name!

If terms like flavour profile and full-bodied sound foreign to you, don’t fake knowing them. Even if you’ve purchased that bottle, it’s perfectly okay to say that you don’t know much about the wine, but you’ve read excellent reviews about it online. Unless it’s a wine tasting session, you don’t have to talk about wine all the time!

This brings us to the next topic.

Cultivate good social skills 

Ultimately, alcohol will never be a substitute for a lack of social skills or shyness. Spirits are meant to complement the evening filled with good-natured bonding and laughs. People who rely on alcohol to loosen themselves up usually look like fools in the end.

Learn how to communicate with someone beyond the question of, what do you do for a living? Even as Singaporean as we are, people are still people. People like to share about what they genuinely love to do or what defines them as a person, and that may not necessarily stem from their job. 

Listen more than you share. Do not judge people for their choice of lifestyle or occupation, even if you have a different viewpoint.

Don’t force or emotionally manipulate non-drinkers to drink. It makes you look very childish.
