Commenting on the achievement, Kaushal Khairnar, Winemaker of Chandon India, said, “This is a moment of immense pride.

This pioneering spirit has allowed Chandon to not only lead the premium sparkling wine segment in India but also to establish new categories, new moments of consumption, and new ways of celebrating with sparkling wine.
Since its inception in 2013, Chandon India has pioneered the premium sparkling wine segment, introducing bold innovations and new consumption occasions that continue to redefine celebrations in the country.
