  • Indian Wine Industry Proposes New Standards India
    THIS REPORT CONTAINS ASSESSMENTS OF COMMODITY AND TRADE ISSUES MADE BY USDA STAFF AND NOT NECESSARILY STATEMENTS OF OFFICIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT POLICY Voluntary - Public Date: 4/17/2013 GAIN Report Number: IN3041 India Post: New Delhi Indian Wine Industry Proposes New Standards Report Categories: Agriculture in the Economy Wine Beverages Agriculture in the News Promotion Opportunities Approved By: David Williams Prepared By: D. Williams Report Highlights: The Indian Grape Processing Board has published draft standards for wine. For the most part, the standards reflect the guidelines of the International Organization of Vine and Wine. However, some standards have been modified to reflect existing Government of India standards. Disclaimer: This summary is based on a cursory review of the subject announcement and therefore should not be viewed under any circumstance, as a definitive reading of the regulation in question, or of its implications for U.S. agricultural export trade interests. Wine Industry Proposes New Standards India, through a request from the Ministry of Food Processing, joined the International Organization of Vine and Wine (known as OIV via its French acronym) on July 12, 2011. The Indian Grape Processing Board, which is a board comprised of representatives from the public and private sectors and established under the auspices of the Ministry of Food Processing, is now working to harmonize Indian wine standards with OIV guidelines and has published a solicitation of comments concerning the proposed standards. India does not currently have a set of wine production standards. Industry sources indicate that, for the most part, the proposed standards have been lifted directly from OIV guidelines.

  • Chapter Iii Wine Industry in Nashik District
    CHAPTER III WINE INDUSTRY IN NASHIK DISTRICT - AN OVERVIEW CHAPTER THREE WINE INDUSTRY IN NASHIK DISTRICT - AN OVERVIEW 3.1 Present Scenario of the Wine Industry in Nashik District India forms a part of the BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China) countries characterised by emerging economies with a fast expanding consumer base. The teaming middle class population residing in the Indian cities form the high growth consumer segment aspiring for affluent standard of living with strong propensity towards consumer splurges on food and beverage delicacies like wine. Truong (2012) noted that the global wine industry is being increasingly influenced by the emergence of the two super economies - China and India and their developing taste for wine. Figure 3.1 shows the major players of the global wine industry. India closely follows the New World norms of winemaking laying emphasis on varietal wines and blended wines. In India commercial winemaking commenced in 1984 when Chateau Indage established its winery at Narayangaon, Maharashtra. The contributions made by the Indian winemaking majors like Chateau Indage, Grover Vineyards and Sula Vineyards enabled the domestic wine industry to take long strides. Source: Truong, 2012 Fig. 3.1 Major players of the global wine industry 73 3.1.1 Wine Market Dynamics and Consumer Trends Jacob (2008) reported that gradually Indians are developing a taste for wine and there has been a steady rise in the consumption of domestically produced wines. The fast expanding consumer base, rising levels of disposable incomes, the desire for the new upper class to experiment with new tastes and more luxury lifestyles, frequent travels abroad, international research on health benefits of wine - all have given the necessary fillip to the indigenous wine industry apart from the fact that good quality wines are now available in the market (Truong, 2012; Karibasappa et al., 2011).

  • 12 Indian Wines You Need to Stock up on This Year. Vogue
    12 Indian wines you need to stock up on this year From sparkling to rosé to the classic red and white, here’s your definitive Indian wine list for 2021. The Indian wine industry has evolved considerably over the past few years. “The quality of Indian wine is getting better; the whole 'vocal for local' phenomenon is sweeping the younger audience mindset and there is a lot of growth in tier two and three cities”, says sommelier Nikhil Agarwal, CEO of All Things Nice. While 2020 was a rough year for the wine industry with lagging sales in the restaurant and hospitality sector, retail sales skyrocketed and a few vineyards also launched new offerings. “Novice and first-time consumers seek value-for-money options. To capitalise on this trend, both Fratelli Vineyards and Sula Vineyards launched wine in cans and Grover Zampa came out with a ready-to-drink mulled wine in a bottle”, says Sonal Holland, master of wine. 2021 will likely see more interesting moves. “I'm excited with the potential of Tempranillo and Grenache grape varieties in India. We have already seen quality examples from Charosa, Grover Zampa, and Sula and I am looking forward to more”, says Agarwal. Holland recommends Vallonné Anokhee Cabernet Sauvignon 2016, a limited edition release that will be available exclusively at Vine2Wine Cellars. “A Syrah Merlot blend, this red wine is aged for five years in barrel and bottle prior to being released, which helps it develop a rich, velvety texture with delicious flavours of dark chocolate, black cherries, and sweet spice”, she says.
