Our Media Partner - Sommelier India

India's inaugural and foremost magazine devoted to wine and its enthusiasts, it stands as a pinnacle in the realm of oenophilic publications. Functioning as a niche, controlled-circulation lifestyle magazine, it prides itself on its meticulous production values and impeccable design. Since its inception in 2004, this publication has been a repository of news, feature articles, wine profiles, and insights into the cultural tapestry woven around wine.

I am delighted to be onboard with the newly formed Sommeliers Association of India. It is an honour and a privilege. Such associations play a pivotal role in nurturing expertise, setting standards, and fostering a vibrant community of wine professionals who are dedicated to fostering an appreciation of wine and fine dining.

I have been connected with the Indian wine market for several years, and have seen how the country has evolved, developing a real desire to learn about the wines. I am thrilled to see the launch of the Sommeliers Association of India. It will bring plenty of opportunities and India deserves to have its place on the international wine market.
