Introduction

Wine-making in India dates back several hundred years. Mughal kings were as devoted to fine wines as to grand architecture, and the British made wine fashionable. Before foreign brands arrived in 2002, local fruit wines were popular. Wine has been made in India for as many as 5,000 years.
India has forever remained a land of dichotomies. It has always perceived a notion in almost two totally paradoxical perspectives. And wine or liquor is no exception to this rule. When on one hand it was a drink of festivities; it was also considered a forbidden affair for the society at large.
Since almost a thousand years or so, wine is being made in India. The European travellers brought wine to the courts of the Mughal emperors Akbar, Jehangir and Shah Jehangir. Since 1612, wine began becoming more and more familiar throughout India due to the British influence..
Under British influence vineyards were established and a number of Indian wines were exhibited and favourably received by visitors to the Great Calcutta Exhibition of 1884.
Today, in the 21st century, Wine is seen as a sophisticated drink and infact considered being healthier than liquor. This factor has made it popular even amongst women and the young starters.










Types 0f Wines
Table Wines : Shall be the products obtained from the alcoholic fermentation of fresh grape juice/ must, grape juice concentrate (obtained by reverse osmosis), or frozen grapes. It shall possess the varietal character derived from the grapes or the constituents formed during fermentation.This standard covers the following types of table wines:
Dry and Sweet White Table Wines:
These wines shall be the products obtained from the alcoholic fermentation of grape juice/must. Their colour shall be colourless to golden pale.
Rose Table Wines
The Table wines having light red to pink colour can be designated as “Rose Table wines”. It can be a combination of red and white Table wines; or produced by shorter maceration of red wines. Dry and Sweet Rose(Blush wine); blending of Red and White wines(Rose Table) shall be termed, as ‘Blush Wine’ and it must be stipulated clearly on the label.
Dry and Sweet Red Table Wines
These wines are the products obtained from the alcoholic fermentation of red, purple, pink or black grapes. The wine shall possess distinct colour, which shall come from natural pigments, mainly anthocyanins present in the grapes.
Sparkling Wine
These wines are the wines that have retained the carbon dioxide, which naturally evolves from alcoholic fermentation ; or the wines that are carbonated externally with carbon dioxide.
Domestic Wine Market:

Both the Indian wine market and the indigenous wine industry are in their nascent stages, but growing by leaps and bounds Fifteen years ago there was no locally made wine that was drinkable. Now there are three significant wine makers, all family-owned businesses, the Chougules, the Grovers and the Samants. There is also great interest in wine makers from France, Italy, Australia, South Africa, America, and Chile to enter the Indian market.
Approximately 38 wineries are presently operating in the country with a total production of 6.2 million liters annually.Maharashtra is leading among the states with 36 wineries and 5.4 million liter production.At present 7,62,000 wine cases are sold every year,which includes 46,000 cases of sparkling wines. Eighty percent of wine consumption in the country is confined in major cities such as Mumbai (39%), Delhi (23%), Bangalore (9%) and Goa (9%).There is growing awareness about the wine as a product in the domestic market.
Poor storage and transport facilities inspite of tropical climate are the main problems of wine marketing in the country.Other constraints are the lack of promotional activities for wine consumption in the country and unfavorable rules for domestic marketing of wines except in few states. These and other factors contributed to India’s low wine consumption which is hardly 0.07 L per capita.
The biggest consumption up to 80% is however confined to major cities like Mumbai (39%), Delhi(23%), Bangalore (9%) and the foreign tourist dominated state of Goa (9%), where as Rest of India has only 20% consumption.
To give impetus to the grape processing and wine industry in Maharashtra and for the benefit of farmers, the state announced a comprehensive ‘Wine Policy’ in 2001 and recently in September, 2005 it has established ‘Maharashtra Grape Board’ especially to develop marketing channels for grape products in o Out of world’s total annual production of 32 billion litres, the following are among the top countries and MNC’s have their major share in the world wine market.

In case of Australia, that exports 230 million litres annually worth more than 1 billion dollars and UK is its major market worth $489 million.

Import Procedure
According to the Constitution of India the liquor industry is regulated by the states and not the centre. Intoxicating liquors are specifically covered by Entry 8 of the State List, and this places all aspects including manufacture, possession, transport, purchase and sale of intoxicating liquors within the sphere of the state only. Since alcoholic beverages are a state subject, each of India’s 29 states and 6 union territories has their own rules & regulations and duties & taxes. Even the pattern of wine distribution and control varies.
Import Policy/Procedures
FOB and Ex-Works are basic policy under which sula imports. Exice duty changes from march- april every year. Consignments imported in India are not restricted.
Sula is not charged any subsidies or excise by maharashtra state govt. on its imports .Import policy by air and shipping remains the same 100 cases at a time i.e container are imported.
Import license, IC no. given by customs i.e nhava sheva and BPT customs are required for exemption from octroi.
EPGC license avail benefits on turnover.

Import Criteria:
The country also imports 72,000 wine cases (9 litres/case) in a year where 32,000 cases are bottled in origin and remaining 0.36m litres are imported in bulk flexi bags and subsequently bottled by Indian wineries. Besides this, about 12,000 –15,000 wine cases are sold through gray market.


Imported From:
The imports are largely from Australia, Chile, Japan, Spain, U.S.A, Italy and other european and asian countries around the world...
Import Market:
The Target Domestic Markets for the imported wines in India are the major metropolitan cities like Goa, Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore.Mumbai is the major market. However wines are also gaining popularity in other small cities and towns .
Import procedure:
India followed a system of non-automatic import licensing (quantitative restrictions) to BIO wines and spirits until April 2001. Under that system, strictly limited quantities of BIO products were allowed to be imported for sale in certain tourist hotels. Then, import of liquors including wines was allowed under the Open General Licence (OGL).
However, each label, each size of bottle and each manufacturer has to be registered with the Department of Excise & Customs against a fee. Liquor industry in India is highly government regulated in terms of constraints on manufacturing, storage as well as distribution.
The imported wines and spirits (BII and BIO) are not systematically exempt from the plethora of different sales taxes; value added taxes, and other indirect taxes applied by Indian States. Government aims at uniform state-level taxation on alcoholic beverages across the country and therefore has plans of a new state excise policy


Distribution, Regulation And Trade Issues :
The Indian market presents several challenges that new entrants ought to know about. Much as it happens in the U.S., every state has a different set of regulations. Local governments also tax wine heavily. In that sense, India should not be treated as a single market--exporters should address each state on its own.
Although India's economy has gone through a liberalization process that has included wine, tariffs are still noticeably high at 108% for bulk wine, and can reach 264% to 420% for bottled wine. This overpricing, which can be discouraging at first, is also a signal of the interest Indians have in wine, since many wine buyers are ready to buy a bottle for more than twice its price at home.
