There are only a few wineries in India and the predominant grape variety is Sauvignon Blanc. Restaurant menus tend to be largely Sauvignon Blanc and other lighter wine styles that tend to work well with Indian cuisine.
The main grape growing area is Nashik where Sula Vineyards and Chandon India are based.
