Intimate and slightly rustic, HOW (House of Wine) is a boutique wine bar with a strong personality. The wine list highlights a small number of French labels known for their traditional and organic approach to winemaking, such as La Ferme des Sept Lunes, Oratoire Saint Martin and Chateau des Rontets. Don't miss Jacques Lassaigne (1,188rmb/bottle) if you're a champagne connoisseur - this blanc de blanc is only available at Michelin-star restaurants and outstanding wine bars.

The long and narrow outdoor area here is not as spectacular as the famous terrace at New Heights on the same floor, but you can still see a slice of Huangpu River and the skyline in Puxi in a much more easy-going setting.
