Introducing
THE WINE CELLAR
Raffles London at The OWO
Our wine philosophy
Taking as our inspiration Britain's history as a successful trading nation, our wine list at Raffles London at The OWO is organised into wines from former British territories (British trade route wines) and wines that were originally traded with other nations (global trade route wines). We highlight wineries and estates that follow sustainable winegrowing and winemaking practices.
