Wine clubs tend to promise a lot and deliver a curated list and a nice view. 67 Pall Mall has built its reputation on doing something slightly different: giving members access to serious bottles at prices that don’t punish them for drinking somewhere nice. That model, first tested in London back in 2015, has since found its way to Verbier and Singapore, and this December it lands in Shanghai.
The club is taking over the Grand Mansion at No. 7 Donghu Road, a French Renaissance-style villa in the city’s Xuhui District that’s seen more history than most buildings get to claim. Built in 1925 by British financier Raymond Joseph, it later played host to negotiations between Richard Nixon and Zhou Enlai, and the APEC China summit in 2001. It turned 100 last year, and now it’s being reimagined, in partnership with the Donghu Hotel, as a home for wine rather than diplomacy.
Inside, the numbers are hard to ignore: over 5,000 wines by the bottle from more than 40 countries, with around 1,000 available by the glass. What’s more interesting, though, is the parallel cellar the club is building for Chinese wine, over 1,000 labels sourced from producers in Ningxia, Xinjiang and Yunnan. It’s a signal that 67 Pall Mall isn’t just importing a European concept wholesale into a new market, but treating Chinese winemaking as worth the same rigour it gives Bordeaux and Burgundy.
The space itself spans 1,330 square metres and 15 rooms, including a Grand Salon, a sunroom, a wine library and a spirits bar, with capacity for over 200 guests at a time. Food comes courtesy of Chef Ang Song Kang, whose restaurant held a Michelin star in Singapore for seven years running before he moved it to Xiamen. His menu here draws on Chinese regional cooking with touches from across Asia-Pacific, alongside a few of 67 Pall Mall’s own London staples, the wagyu burger and sausage roll among them. Detailing throughout leans into local craft too, with Suzhou-embroidered peacock screens at the entrance doing the work of tying the old building to its new purpose.
Membership, as with the club’s other locations, is capped, this time at 1,500, with a small number of lifetime memberships available on request. Annual membership runs 38,000 RMB before the December opening, rising to 50,000 RMB plus a joining fee once the doors are open, with preferential rates for wine professionals and members under 30.
Shanghai marks 67 Pall Mall’s first foothold in mainland China, and by the group’s own account, not its last. With Bordeaux, Beaune and Melbourne also in the pipeline, the club is on track for ten locations within three years. For a members’ concept built on undercutting restaurant mark-ups, that’s a fairly serious bet on how many cities still have room for a good wine list and a better story behind it.
