Now, more Indian wines at your neighbourhood cafe!
Just in the mood for a cup of coffee? Or would you prefer a glass of wine as you chat with friends or talk business with colleagues? Now you can have either, or even both, at your friendly neighbourhood coffee bar, says Ruma Singh. Left: Sanjay Coutinho of Barista with Abhay Kewadkar of UB at the launch
The UB Group's Four Seasons Wines has tied up with Barista Lavazza to serve its varietal wines by the glass at select Barista centres around the country. The enterprise was launched on 4 June 2010 at a relaxed Friday cocktail evening over jazz and canapés at Barista Lavazza, Lavelle Road, in the heart of Bangalore. Very soon, additional cafés with similar offerings will be launched in other cities around India including Mumbai and Delhi, within the next two months, and with up to 20 outlets over the next 6 months, including cities like Pune, Hyderabad and Goa.
For Sanjay Coutinho, CEO and Director, Barista Coffee Company, the tie up is the perfect opportunity to enhance and enrich the experience of their guests, who were primarily young adults, exposed to global lifestyles.
