Wine is an un-distilled alcoholic beverage with an alcoholic content ranging between 5- 13%. Grape has been the principal fruit employed in the preparation of a variety of wines. Nevertheless, other fruits have also been made into wine such as apple, known for cider, pear for perry, plum for table and fortified wines.

Since the early 2000’s, India has been hyped as an important emerging market for wine. The country has the optimum climate for grape cultivation and its main wine-producing states, Maharashtra and Karnataka, are leading producers of world-class high-quality grapes

Wine production in India is concentrated in the states of Maharashtra (90 percent) and Karnataka (7 percent), while the states Goa and Himachal Pradesh represent less than 3 percent of output combined Most wineries and production are concentrated in the Nashik region in Maharashtra, which is considered the home of the country’s wine sector. Other significant wine regions include Sangli (Maharashtra), Nandi Hills (Karnataka) and Bangalore (Karnataka)..

Grape Varieties and Wine Style

Light, easy-going wines are made here from grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, Chenin Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc with Shiraz the most popular of all. Maharashtra wines are typically well balanced and display distinct varietal character.

Blended red wines are also particularly popular, especially those of which are Cabernet Sauvignon-based.

They are often produced with a residual sugar level and are well-suited to a broad spectrum of wine consumers.
