Buying wine online is hassle free. The shipping is a great convenience, purchasing is easy, satisfaction is guaranteed and you don’t even have to leave the comfort of your own home. There are many sites on the internet that sell wine so before you buy make sure to check for the following things:

Wine was one of the first fermented beverages, and a lot of its history can be traced through cultures the world over. Vintners as well as great winemakers and enthusiasts have been putting together flowers, grapes and many other fruits to produce a wine that can be served for celebrations, feasts, parties and the dinner table. Every region, winds up growing a very distinctive grape that when fermented and combined with different herbs or even brandy, compete the world over with flavor, taste, aroma, and texture too.

For wine lovers, the best part about having many wineries around is wine tasting. You can enjoy the best variants of wines in one or two visits to these wineries’ tasting parties; some even for free.

Red and White Wine in India:

There are many different wine accessories that one can present to wine lovers and enthusiasts. While some need to be accompanied with wine bottles, others make for perfect gifts in themselves. Some of the wine related gifts include wine coolers, wine baskets, wine glasses, corkscrews, coasters, table mats and wine tasting accessories. Many wine stores stock such products in addition to different kinds of wines as generally people prefer to shop for all wine related items, under one roof. Certain specialty wine stores custom make wine products as per the requirements of the customer.


The wine coolers come in a variety of sizes, depending on how many wine bottles one wants to keep in them. As the dimensions and bottle capacity of a wine cooler increase, the price also increases. Usually, a wine cooler comes with a digital temperature control and a thermostat, which regulates the wine temperature.


Wine is so much more than just a grocery item; the stories, details and experiences associated with wine across the world mark it out as a very special product indeed. Wine is an alcoholic beverage made from the fermentation of grape juice. The wine store of today sells more than simply bottles of wine.

Wine Market in India Has Been Growing at around 30% Annually over the Last Ten Years:

The ‘Wine Market Outlook in India’ report covers a brief overview of the Wine Industry in India. It will focus in detail about the dynamics of the Industry, the market size and growth rate, the segmentation of wine by price and consumers. The report also covers the market landscape covering the major wine grape growing regions in India and the key importers of wine. This will facilitate the client in analysing the potential opportunities of the wine market with the relevant facts and figures.

About the Industry:

The changing drinking habits of the people of India have changed the fortune of Indian wine market, witnessing a tremendous growth. Favourable and promotional government policies, higher disposable incomes and growth in foreign tourists are some of the reasons for such growth. Present consumption of wine in India is very low with the average per capita consumption at 4.6 ml. However, considering the fact that about a decade earlier markets for wines did not exist at all, the present developments are positive. Wine market in India has been growing at around 30% annually over the last ten years and is expected to have a positive growth in future.

Currently, the Indian wine industry is dominated by three large players who together enjoy over 90% of the total market share, although there is enough room for more players. To cater to this growing demand, some Indian wine makers have started importing foreign made wines and bottling and selling it here. Challenges for the industry include competing against global connoisseurs of wine in the Europe, improving the quality of wines in India, sustaining high growth rates and increasing consumption of wine in India.

Despite challenges, Indian wineries are promoting their produce across the globe by participating in global events. Positive outlook of the government towards this sector has tremendously helped to power growth in this sector. For instance, several Indian states, including Maharashtra, the largest producer of Wine in India, have started to provide duty exemptions that will boost wine consumption. In recent times, Maharashtra has also commissioned sanctioning of wine bars in order to promote domestic consumption of wine. Going forward, the industry is likely to witness entry of many local and foreign players which will help widen markets further.

Red & White Wines:-

Wines are mainly distinguished by their color, flavor, aroma and alcoholic content. They can be deep red, white or rose depending on the juice concentration and length of time the concoction was allowed to ferment. Although for most connoisseurs, they can tell which country the drink came from because the wine tastes of the place where the grapes were cultivated.

So how do red wines help with this problem? Well, according to many medical studies it has been shown that a moderate intake of no more than two glasses of red wine a day can actually reduce the risk of a heart attack by as much as fifty percent.
