Shroff further added that this is a soft launch for the company’s brands in India. As a long term goal, the company aims to achieve a sales target of 34 million pounds in India in next five years, added Shroff.

With an initial plan to launch five wines, namely Red, White, Apricot, Cherry and Ginger, the company may soon come up with one more variety, informed Shroff. While the wines are priced at Rs 1622 per bottle in Delhi, the price may shoot up further in Mumbai.

The Indian wine market is growing at about 30-35 per cent and it is a good time for a foreign brand to make its mark in the Indian market, said Subhash Arora, president, Indian Wine Academy. The Indian wine market is estimated to be 1.2 million cases per year.

According to Arora, a lot of wine makers from around the world are showing their interest in entering the Indian market. These include a lot of brands from France, Italy, Spain and South Africa. Many of the foreign wine brands are in the process of scouting distributors for their product in the Indian market.
