About Us

Our Company

The Wine Society of India began company operations in the last quarter of 2006, and opened offices in Nariman Point, Mumbai. The business model is based on the successful programme developed in the United States by The Wine Society of America, which was founded by David Banford. The Wine Society of America enrolled members over 10 years and was floated on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange in 1991.

The Wine Society of India has aims and mission objectives which fall into 3 separate but inter-related categories.

Firstly to inform and educate those in this country (who do not have a religious or ethical objection to alcohol) about the wonderful world of wine! WSI provides this through a developing range of online and offline programmes, including home-study and classroom wine courses, a vineyard visit programme, a helpline to answer wine-related queries, newsletters, a free two-year subscription to Sommelier India (worth Rs 1000), access to edited portions of Decanter Magazine, a global vineyard visit programme, a restaurant programme that offers you a 50% discount on your first bottle of wine, wine storage systems and supply of wine accessories.

Secondly, we organise wine events - including informal wine appreciation events, more formal sit-down winemaker dinners, and instructional masterclasses.

And finally, through our Four Seasons Wine Discoveries programme we arrange for the supply of exceptional quality wines at modest prices. Four times a year, our Board of Wine Advisors taste hundreds of wines throughout the vineyards of the world, including India, to discover the best possible quality wines at the lowest possible price which are recommended to members, then imported, distributed and sold through licensed retailers with home delivery under temperature-controlled conditions.
