For local player , Sultania Trade Pvt Ltd., it is indeed a logical step in the right direction to get into the growing imported spirits market. The company intimately understands the market of commercial capital of India, Mumbai, and has made a significant contribution by clocking close to one million cases in this key market for all liquor manufacturers both local and international players.

Also Sultania was Instrumental in launching The Famous Grouse    Scotch whiskey in Mumbai  market in 2002.

For Vikas gupta who handles the entire operations of the country certainly knows his business. Although the company has won all its laurels in the IMFL business it is the international business that is closest to his heart. Ask him the price of any international brand and pat comes the answer, but ask him the price of Bagpiper and he needs to double check. For the moment, Our Strategy is to choose our products carefully and only when the conditions are conducive, we will introduce our brands, he says.  

Mr. A.M.David is veteran in the imported beverage alcohol industry with over two decades of experience, brings to Sultania his immense knowledge and experience to establish this new segment of business into its logical next step providing greater synergy for the entire value chain from producer to consumer.

                                                                                 (Article from AMBROSIA magazine DEC 2006)

A.M.David, VP Marketing, SULTANIA TRADE PVT LTD., Shares his experience of visiting this country of fine wines with AMBROSIA.

Excerpts:


France, The worlds number one wine producing country has undergone a major change in terms the branding and labeling of its wines. In earlier days the wine companies products were branded according to the region they belonged to. However, to meet the growing demand of the wine connoisseursof the world

and to avoid confusion, the french wine maker have also started labelling the bottles as per grape varieties. This was clearly visible during the recent convention on Aquitaine Wines and Spirits.
The event had attracted 80 qualifiedbuyers from 27 countries and china was the flavour of the meet with 16 buyers many of them being ladies.
The producers of these wines and Spirits were from the classic reds of the Medoc,St.Emillion and Pomerol to the great sweet whites of saturnes and Barsac. Bordeaux is the largest source of quality wines in the world.
The buyers were also treated with a gala reception by the organizers at cheteau Rochermonin an Andre Lurton property and to a tour of St.Emillion a world heritage site known for premium wines.                                                                         


In his visit ti the largest bottling facility in European Union of Les Grands Chaise De France (G.C.F.) at Landiras a suburb of Bordeaux, David attended a special tasting session of their repertoire of fine wines from all regions. They bottle over a million bottles a day and have ultra modern facilities to bottle all types of packaging and sizes. Sultania imports their J.J. & Cie wines and have plans to get additional wines into their portfolio. Sharing his experience with Ambroisia, David said, he also had the privilege to the eleventh century chateau Olivi a Crue Classe of Leognan with Union of Les Grands Chaise De France's Export Director Bill Fisher.                                                                                                                                            

According to David the producers from France are very keen to come to India and sell their fine wines. When he explained the problems of high duties and government restrictions on alchohol products, the producers said they are ready to establish bussiness relations with India at any cost.
