After this he saw it as a good opportunity and in 1999 he opened Sula Vineyards, Nashik’s first winery. After studying wine in California, Samant’s goal was to make bottles of international standard. However, Samant says that the share of wine in all alcoholic beverages consumed in India will be around two percent. But here the number of people consuming it is increasing.
