TESTIMONIALS

The India Wine Awards......what a wonderful night it was in all its colours and glory!! Replete with all the elements that it takes to mark a truly successful wine saga. A big thanks to Sonal for creating the platform and the opportunity. Glad that the wines were appreciated – feels extremely reassuring and motivates us to snowball our efforts in the right direction. These awards / accolades act as a testimony, and go a long way in marketing and re-inforcing the brand to the hospitality industry. Secondly, it also brought people across the spectrum in the Hospitality industry under one roof- be it restaurateurs, wine producers, importers, connoisseurs. Thus, it proved to be an extremely good networking event of sorts too. Lastly, but most important, compliments to the team (the silent behind-the-scenes workforce) for the meticulous organisation of the event. Cheers to many more such evenings ahead.

There are a lot of wines in the market but there is no credible system where you actually get to the consumer, knowing that this is a good wine. India Wine Awards gives the platform where experts from the industry, across a varied spectrum, are tasting the wines and putting their finger and letting you know that this is a good wine.
