Life suddenly started being more meaningful ever since I decided to empower myself with the belief- “In Vino Veritas”! - Read More

Cheers Santé and Salud!

🍷 25 years of Sula Vineyards—and what a journey it has been! From its first bottle to becoming a powerhouse of Indian wine, Sula’s evolution is also a story of India’s changing wine culture. 🇮🇳🍇 ✨ Premiumisation, 🍾 dealcoholised wines and 🌿 an expanding wine-tourism footprint point to an exciting next chapter. I recently experienced this journey through an intimate tasting and fireside chat with Rajeev Samant and Subhash Arora. 📖 Read my take on Sula at 25—and what the next years could hold.

Delhi Gets HIK 🍯
From Pune to Delhi — HIK Mead is making its way across India!
What makes this launch even more interesting? HIK is the only mead currently offered in a keg, bringing a fresh, modern take to this ancient honey-based drink. 🍯🍻
After Delhi, HIK is headed to a few more cities — including Goa, Lucknow, Ludhiana and Haldwani, alongside the metros.
The mead movement is spreading. And it’s just getting started.

2012, Beaujolais. 🍇 A few days spent among the vines during harvest—an experience that stays with you. Looking at today’s French vineyards, where warmer seasons are increasingly shifting harvest calendars, those memories feel rather different. Wine teaches you to notice change, vintage by vintage. 🍷
