By Hemant SharmaSure, it is true that compared to other alcoholic beverages, Wine is not that popular here, but still, the love for different types of wines is rising slowly yet steadily right here in India. And without a single doubt, the credit for that can be given to some wine brands that are doing their best to make it more popular as an alcoholic beverage in India. Let’s say you’re already a wine lover and enjoy it whenever you like or whenever there is some special occasion, and this time, you actually want to try some of the best branded wines in the country. What then? Well, worry not, we’re here to let you know about the Top 10 most famous Wine Brands in India 2025, so you can give a try to these brands and see which one you like the most. Here we go then.
1. Sula Vineyards
First of all, one cannot imagine a wine list without Sula. That’s just not possible, especially in 2025. Sula, based in Nashik, awakened modern wines right here in the country back in 1999, and it continues to lead the march today. Whether you want the fruit-forward Chenin Blanc Reserve, the ever-festive Sula Brut, or the rich and bold Rasa Shiraz, the list commands prices that are friendly and wines that are easily accessible anywhere in the country. It would be super unfair not to mention solar panels, water recycling, and a vineyard that has been developed with a holiday option in mind, which lays the strongest case for Sula being believed to be the favorite choice of many a casual imbiber and the safest bet for any sommelier.
2. Grover Zampa Vineyards
Under Southern breezes of Nandi Hills (and a sister patch in Nashik) lie Grover Zampa blending French technique with Indian sunshine in utmost brilliance. Their flagship wine La Réserve, Cabernet plus Shiraz, is forever a favorite on the international medal circuit, while Soirée Brut is all the rage with New Sparkling tastes. Premium feel, steady quality, and that double-terroir magic-making it Grover’s answer for diners seeking a sophisticated pour.
3. Fratelli Wines
Fratelli in Italian goes for something like “brothers” so this group from Akluj wholeheartedly embraces the history of it all. The leading star, Fratelli Sette, sees the sun for above one year in French oak, melding Sangiovese with Cabernet for a wine that many consider akin to a Super Tuscan-end of the line Agent of Opportunity. The experimental portfolio, which includes the J’Noon and colorful canned TILT lineup, makes Fratelli an interesting bridge between consumer-side curiosity and everyday fun.
4. KRSMA Estates
Hidden in the rocky Hampi Hills, KRSMA believed in a “less is more” approach. What? A few cases here and there with vineyard management in meticulous needle-point detail have seen their “Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese” recognized as the “best” vineyards globally, TWICE, actually! Given the kinda small production units of the winery, bottles disappear quickly, propelling KRSMA to better recognition for those who want to seek that rare high-end Indian red.
5. Vallonne Vineyards
Just down the road from Igatpuri lies Vallonne, a place which is somewhat known for its French atmosphere that hardly carries without any sense of mediocrity. The Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve has almost become a showpiece, but the true conversation piece is the oak-aged silky Anokhee Syrah, well, at least that’s the case in our opinion. They make a Rosé from Cabernet as well, essentially making it one of a kind in India. Vallonne is an all-time favorite weekend getaway for artisans requiring handcrafted beauty, good wine, lake views, and a snug little resort on the premises.
6. York Winery
This next one, well, it kinda shares the Nashik area with Sula and keeps things low-key, all focused, and laid-back in terms of pricing. York Arros (a blend of Shiraz and Cabernet) often ranks under India’s best reds in the category of less than Rs. 1,500. With this one, you know what you get? Well, a little bit of the balancing Shiraz, food-friendly Zinfandel, and tasting room overlooking the Godavari River sum up an experience that feels personal rather than mass-produced.
7. Reveilo Wines
When you’re out there looking for those “organic” and “vegan” tags on a vine, well, this one should top your checklist then. Why? Well, Reveilo, set somewhere in Niphad, is worthy of the detour. Less chemicals, fruit-oriented styles, with oak-kissed reds such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot bank on the sipping consciousness without compromising on flavor. More and more in 2025, the smooth tannins and ripe aromas of Reveilo, together with the fully sustainable approach, keep rising in popularity.
8. Charosa Vineyards
Tempranillo in India? You bet. Proudly championed by Charosa from the Dindori patch in Nashik is this Spanish varietal. For those who don’t know yet, well, Tempranillo Reserve is an assertive wild child, from barrel aging with loads of smoky notes, which is terribly unique if you compare it to some wines on local shelves. Productions are small-batch, so typically Charosa will be stocked at fine-wine stores and upper-tier hotels, you know, an excellent thing for buyers seeking something a little bit different.
9. Big Banyan Wines
With roots in the cities of Goa and Bangalore, Big Banyan definitely is for new-generation drinkers: pocket-friendly prices, easy Merlot and Shiraz labels, and widespread supermarket presence. Consider it an entry-level risk-free path into Indian reds: just smooth enough to mellow up a house party, yet kinda dependable enough for a casual Tuesday pasta night.
10. Four Seasons
Finishing up last on this list, but still a super good choice, is the Four Seasons brand. You know, right here in India, using the distribution strength of United Spirits, Four Seasons bottles can pop up everywhere, you know, advertising in restaurants, minibar shelves in hotels, or even on shelves of neighborhood stores. Barrique Reserve Cabernet enjoys that oak touch, just enough to go premium, and yes, ordinary varietals such as Shiraz, Merlot, and Cabernet keep the portfolio working out for the volume.
Conclusion
There you have it. If you haven’t tried any of these brands’ wine offerings, then you should definitely go on that spree. Try out different ones and see which one you like the most. Though we get it, some of these brands are kinda expensive than others, but when it comes to wines, you’ll clearly be able to quite literally taste the difference in the price tag.
