Rajeev Samant, CEO of Sula Vineyards, said, “Our focus on premiumisation is reaping rich dividends - more than 52% of 1 million cases are our Elite & Premium wines including our Sula Vineyards, RASA & The Source brands. That share was just 46% in pre-pandemic FY19. We continue our laser-like focus on our highly profitable own brands, and at the same time prune the imported brands business. I'm particularly pleased that we conducted more than 1.3 lakh unique individual tastings at our iconic vineyards, a massive 66% growth from the year before. This continues to be a significant focus area for the company.”
He further added, “Our wine tourism business continues to soar with total revenue touching Rs 80 crore in FY23 versus just Rs 44 crore in FY19 and we expect this to be a 100 crore business in the coming year. The tribe of Indian wine drinkers is clearly growing - they are reaching for more premium wines and increasingly those are Sula's brands.”
Sula Vineyards is principally engaged in the business of manufacture, purchase and sale of premium wine and other alcoholic beverages.
