The closest link between the people that make wine and the people that drink it
We are delighted to announce our collaboration with Alfred Dunhill at the new Hong Kong Home of Alfred Dunhill in Prince’s Building. Berrys has created a Fine Wine Reserve providing, we anticipate, exemplary levels of service and fine wine expertise alongside dunhill’s signatory attention to detail, all in the heart of Central. The Home will also feature a new destination restaurant and Bar, Alfie’s by KEE, serving a menu of honest British fare and an inimitable wine list compiled in consultation with Berrys.
The Fine Wine Reserve itself will carry an extraordinary range of wines, as well as offering the unsurpassed expertise that we have gathered from our 11 years in Hong Kong and 312 years in the UK.
The synergy between the dunhill and Berrys’ brands is immediately apparent when delving into the archives; with both companies sharing much common ground. We both have our geographical origins in St. James’s, however, the true affinity lies in our philosophies. As well as a shared heritage and insistence on the very best, both companies truly understand the importance of tradition and integrity, whilst being constantly – and sometimes radically – innovative, of not just striving to meet customers’ expectations but exceeding them.
Pictures of the new store will be posted shortly. In the meantime we hope that you’ll enjoy these pictures of the traditional Lion Dance which marked the grand opening last Monday. The highly acrobatic spectacle was performed as a ceremony to exorcise evil spirits and to summon luck and fortune for the new venture.
We look forward to welcoming you there!

Nice to hear about your exploits in Hong Kong, the question i have is when are you going to open up in Singapore?
Hello Chris,
We are always looking at possible areas of expansion for our business and it is true to say that Asia is very much a focus for us at the moment, witnessed by the recent news from Hong Kong and the opening of our Tokyo business in Autumn 2008. We have no specific plans to open in Singapore but we have not ruled out such a development in the future.

Very excited to hear that you’re opening up in Hong Kong soon. I understand that this is a restaurant or/and bar? Would you please explain it a little more and let me know when I can start making reservations? 1st April would of course be wonderful, as my friends and I love trying out new places, but I don’t know how full you will be this week. I trust that you will have Gavi de Gavi! Looking forward to your reply!
Hi Cheryl,
Thank you for your message. Nick is currently in Bordeaux at the moment tasting the ’09 vintage but hopefully the following will answer your questions. Yes, we’re delighted to be opening our second shop in Hong Kong (the first city in the world to have two BBR stores). As well as the Berrys’ Fine Wine Reserve, the Hong Kong Home of Alfred Dunhill will indeed feature a restaurant and bar. Alfie’s by KEE will be serving a menu of honest British fare, in an environment reminiscent of an eclectic British study. Expect twists on classics such as fish and chips, Angus beef, gourmet sausages and more, all complemented by an enviable wine list combined in consultation with BBR. The restaurant is open to the public from 1st April and you can make a reservation as follows:
Restaurant Telephone: 2530 4422
Booking Email: booking.alfies@keeclub.com
Thank you!
Thanks for the update – i will have to manage my trip to the 7′s with some fine wine purchasing…
Chris
