Good Drop Wine Cellars is India’s first specialist sparkling wine producer. It all began when chartered accountant turned winemaker, Ashwin Rodrigues identified a niche in the blossoming Indian wine market.  After honing his skills in the craft of wine making from Australia’s famed Barossa Valley, Ashwin set out on a mission to produce quality wines that were great on value, but more importantly – suited to the Indian wine drinker.

Our winemaking journey began in 2011 with Rio Fizzy Wine being made at a contract winery. It was a fun and easy drinking wine and the first in the world to be bottled under a ring pull cap. Our philosophy that wine should be approachable and affordable was embodied in Rio, and it was an instant success.

Not very long ago, we setup up our own state-of-the-art winery in Nashik. The sprawling facility was built specially for sparkling wine production. A year later, India’s first Charmat method sparkling wine, Casablanca was launched. Then in 2015 we acquired the rights of Good Earth Winery to add still wines to our portfolio, making us a complete wine producer.

In the years that followed we have added many more wines to our portfolio, and today we have the largest range of sparkling wines in India. Our versatile range arms us to expand our reach by catering to customers across various demographics, wine categories, and price points. With a highly motivated team and a presence in fifteen Indian states, Good Drop Wine Cellars is well on its way to redefining wine and wine drinking culture in India.
