The Maharashtra Cabinet on Thursday decided to allow sale of wine at supermarkets and grocery shops operating from premises with an area more than 1,000 square feet.
“Wine bottles can be sold in supermarkets or shops with area more than 1,000 square feet where the operators will be allowed to have a stall for wines. The decision will give a boost to fruit-based wineries which provide additional income to farmers and wine producers in the State,” said Minister for Skill Development Nawab Malik after a meeting of the State Cabinet.
