Kiara Wines

You can find us on the ground floor of the Kirti Building, right on Dr. V.B. Gandhi Marg in Fort. It’s an old building in a part of Mumbai that has so much history. The streets around here are always packed with people walking to their offices or tourists looking at the architecture. Our shop is quite traditional, with shelves lining the walls and bottles everywhere you look. It’s not a massive warehouse; it’s a cozy spot where we know a lot of our customers by their names. Being in the Fort area means we get a lot of regulars who stop by after work before they head home. The floor is old, and the ceiling is high, giving it a bit of a classic feel that you don't see in the newer malls. We spend a lot of time organizing the stock and talking to people about what they might like for a party. We don't have a big marketing strategy or a fancy social media presence. We just open the doors in the morning and wait for the neighborhood to wake up. Dealing with deliveries in these narrow streets can be a nightmare because there’s never any parking, so we’ve gotten good at quick unloading. It’s a bit hectic at times, especially on Friday evenings, but we like the energy of this part of the city. It’s just a local business trying to provide something decent for the folks around here.
