Unpacking India’s biggest wine boutique, Tonique
With a selection of over 30 Champagnes, 55 whiskies and the country’s largest display of sakes, the massive Tonique store in Bengaluru’s CBD can become a game changer for beverage retail
Imagine a store that straddles two storeys, boasts six-foot-tall signage, and is spread over 25,000 square feet in the very heart of Bengaluru. A store to wander at leisure, browsing the racks for rare whiskies and vintage wines. Where you could indulge in an invitees-only tasting with your favourite Italian winemaker. Or check with a trained sommelier if you should opt for that Côtes-du-Rhône red over an Australian Shiraz for your weekend brunch.
Imagine no more. Anith Reddy-owned Hyderabad-based Tonique, reputed to be Asia’s biggest wine and liquor boutique, is opening an even bigger, grander outpost in Bengaluru this weekend. This is India’s second Tonique: the first opened in the City of Pearls in December 2016. Several outlets will follow, including one on Mumbai’s Linking Road and at Hyderabad airport. Bengaluru is slated to get six smaller format stores, Q by Tonique (3-5,000 sq ft), this year.
