Nashik-based Sommelier group has planned five wine bars in Pune, Nashik, Bangalore and Jaipur over next two years. The newly formed group plans to invest around Rs 6 crore to set up these multi-brand wine bars.

Promoted as 'The Sommelier', the wine bars would serve only wine along with food that suits wine consumption. Interestingly, the wine pricing would be low as these wine bars buy wine from manufacturers directly and sell to customers. "Wine consumption is increasing fast across prominent cities and hence, wine bars are the need of the hour. In a bid to tap this potential, we have come up with an idea of wine bars," said Jagdish Patil, one of the promoters of The Sommelier.
