Why The WineOut Matters for India’s Wine Industry
India’s wine sector is currently going through a difficult period. Overall wine sales have fallen in the past year due to strong competition from vodka, gin, rum, and their popular cocktails.
Most consumers still see wine as complicated or intimidating, mainly because they rarely get the chance to taste and learn about it in an enjoyable setting.
The WineOut aims to change this by creating a fun, friendly space where people can:
taste different wines,
learn through guided sessions,
enjoy food pairings,
and engage directly with winemakers.
This helps wineries reach new audiences and introduces consumers to the world of wine in a relaxed, exciting way.
A Growing Movement, Not Just an Event
The organisers shared:
“The WineOut @Bandra has become more than a festival—it’s turning into a movement. Seeing 3,500+ people including expats, influencers, media, and Mumbai’s wine community come together was incredible.
The curiosity, conversations with producers, dancing, learning—it all showed that Mumbai is ready for a vibrant wine culture.
We’re now excited for our next edition at Lokhandwala on December 20–21, which will be even bigger and better.”
