• The wine industry has witnessed a CAGR of over 25% over the last 3 years in the premium wine segment mainly fuelled by the strong growth in the domestic wine consumption.
• The industry is not very capital intensive, as it requires around Rs.10-15 million to setup a Wine plant with a capacity of 100,000 liters.
• The key raw materials such as grapes, bottles, and corks account for approximately 20% of the total costs and are higher than the international norms.
• The industry has low entry barriers because of its low capital-intensive nature however the industry is under pressure for profits due to high marketing costs and low volumes. With demand increasing at a steady pace, the industry is expected to go through a consolidation phase.
