Rising consumption rate of wine consumption is notably driving market growth. The global market has experienced a notable increase in consumption, driven by several factors. One of the primary reasons is the evolving consumer preferences towards healthier and premium alcoholic beverages. Fortified wines, with their lower alcohol content and antioxidant properties, are perceived as a healthier option compared to other alcoholic drinks.
Furthermore, the market is witnessing innovation in flavors and premiumization, catering to the diverse taste preferences of consumers. Social recognition also plays a role, as fortified wines, such as Vermouth and Dessert wine, are popular choices for mixologists in single-spirit bars. The Sherry and Port segments are also gaining popularity due to their unique flavors. Despite the health benefits, increased taxation and regulatory bodies like FSSAI pose challenges to the market. Thus, such factors are driving the growth of the market during the forecast period.

The market is experiencing a surge in demand due to various factors, including health benefits, premiumization, and innovation in flavors.

Premiumization is another significant trend, with consumers preferring high-end and exclusive brands for social recognition.
Moreover, innovation in flavors is also driving growth, with the Vermouth segment and dessert wine gaining popularity. However, increased taxation and regulatory bodies like FSSAI pose challenges. Liquor stores and internet retailing are the primary channels for distribution, with production facilities and distribution centers playing a crucial role. Thus, such trends will shape the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Negative perception associated with fortified wines is the major challenge that affects the growth of the market.
