Alcoholic Beverages Business
Kia Ora Food & Beverages LLP (KOFB) entered the import and distribution of alcoholic beverages, with a strong focus on New Zealand wines, marking one of its core product offerings. In 2023, KOFB successfully imported a selection of premium New Zealand wines, including Pinot Gris, Merlot, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Rosé. By establishing itself as a brand owner in the Indian market, KOFB’s wines have been warmly received and are steadily expanding across multiple states. Several of these wines have earned recognition at prestigious industry events, including the Spritz Selection Awards in India and Wine Orbit in New Zealand.
In addition to its wine portfolio, KOFB secured exclusive agreements to import and distribute a variety of other New Zealand alcoholic products, such as New Zealand Gin, New Zealand Whiskey, and NZ Rich Ruby Wine, throughout the latter part of 2023. Further diversifying its portfolio, KOFB introduced Ukrainian Vodka to the Indian market during the final quarter of the year.
The spirits imported by KOFB have garnered multiple prestigious international awards from renowned competitions, including the International Wine & Spirits Competition (IWSC), LA Awards, NZ Spirits Awards, Ascot Awards (USA), London Spirits Competition, and Pro Wine (India), among others.
Looking ahead to 2024, KOFB plans to further expand its portfolio by introducing Ready-to-Drink (RTD) products, with the goal of adding a variety of locally produced spirits to its range by 2025.
