Winemakers are using their skills to produce exceptional quality of fruit wines for reasonable prices, and in doing so increasing the sales volumes of fruit wines and its awareness.

The production of fruit wines is said to be slightly more complex than grape wines.

However, the skill and experience level in general fruit winemaking is increasing fast. This is expressed in the massive increase in awards and medals won by fruit wines in national and international wine competitions and the countless satisfied and returning customers.

Fruit Wines today are becoming popular amongst all ages. Fruit wines have been accepted globally by many people from diverse communities and countries. They are not just recognized as a sweet wine drunk after dinner or with desserts but now enjoyed with vastly varied food pairings or all cuisine types.

Fruit wines have been gaining a lot of popularity lately as a huge number of people today are willing to experiment with their drinks and more often than not they tend to rate fruit based wines at par with grape wines. Wine drinkers are not just buying wine based on famous brands but now also on taste, originality and health benefits. They are increasingly buying “local”, pure and promoting their local winery and fruit industry. The global fruit wine market is currently on an encouraging and increasing trend.

With global players stepping in from Australia, USA, India, France, Italy, etc. the fruit wine market is sure to stay and grow at a rapid pace as time passes.

Less than 15 years ago it was extremely difficult, not only to sell but even try to convince people, to try fruit wines. In the current global scenario, things are very different, as people today go out of their way to try and buy fruit wines. The quality of the product has increased exponentially and so has the reputation. What is needed today is just a bit of education that should be provided to the common consumer about fruit wines. This is now being done by the more proactive fruit wineries and the ones passionately interested in spreading the word.

In today’s wine market people have a short attention span and can get “bored” quickly. What people want is not the same monotonous wine day after day.
