India's Growing Love For Wines

The wine market of India observed growth with a CAGR of more than 25 percent during 2011-12 to 2016-18.

Growth and Reasons

“The period observed increasing awareness of wine and wine brands in India. The vineries have started becoming picnic spots and provide educational tours as well as consist of tasting rooms in it. The increasing craze of Bollywood also helped Indian wine market as many of the heroines are seen consuming wine in the movies,” pointed out the report.

Our changing lifestyles due to the widespread impact of globlisation, increase in disposable incomes during the last one-and-a-half decade in select but sizeable pockets of urban Indian society, the predominantly young demographics, weakening of archaic social taboos and also the growing health consciousness in the urban Indian society have together contributed towards the popularity of wines in India.

According to Rajesh Radhakrishnan, F&B Director, Radisson Blu Resort Goa Cavelossim Beach, India’s wine consumption has grown substantially over a five year period. “Few factors that has helped this growth are good climate for grape growing in certain parts of India, increasing urban population, craving among youth for an alternative to hard liquors, growing acceptance of wines among Indian women and youth,” affirmed Rajesh.

The attitudinal shift among upwardly mobile Indian women, and the gradual but perceptible societal acceptance towards women drinking alcoholic beverages are also the reasons for the increasing wine consumption in India. The wine drinking among upper middle class women has shown an increase in India, during the recent years. The fact that swanky retail outlets in big cities of the country are now having wines is also increasing this ancient, modern and delightful beverage’s consumption in the country.

Healthy Food - An Attempt to Meet Diners' Desire

Sustainable Development Goal 3 (SDG 3), one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals established by the United Nations in 2015, was about "Good Health and Well-being". This could be said to be an eye-opener and the source of making people aware of maintaining their health, which became more pronounced due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Consuming healthy food, since then, has become a significant - if not imperative - element in lives of almost everyone. And this healthy and nutritious food is also playing a significant role in the success of restaurants. Diners are now becoming more particular about the food they consume, making the F&B outlets offer a diverse and appealing menu of healthy food options. Ashok Malkani tries to evaluate how the restaurants and chefs are meeting this desire for nutritious food by customers and what are some of the healthy food options.
