Agencies
Kochi, Dec 19:
Four Seasons Wines Limited (FSWL), a subsidiary of United Spirits Limited, will open a 'wine club' in the city as part of its initiative to promote 'wine-related tourism' across the country.
Launching 'Four Season' wines here, FSWL Business Head and Director Abhay Kewadkar said the wine club in the city would be opened in three to six months time, similar to a recent launch of a club in Kolkata.
The company currently has three clubs, each in Bangalore and Delhi and one in Chandigarh.
The idea was to provide a 'wine experience' in terms of taste and food and share more information on wine making and related details, he added.
Kewadkar said the company was aiming to export about 15 per cent in the first year especially to markets in the UK, US and France and this would go up to 30 per cent in the coming years.
The company expects to sell about one million bottles in the first year as the wine consumption was increasing by 30 to 40 per cent on an year-on-year basis, he added.
The company launched its first varietal range of wines from Baramati in Maharashtra, called the 'Four Seasons', and also the widely popular 'Zinzi' from its portfolio in Kerala.
