The state cabinet headed by Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Thursday approved the sale of wine in supermarkets walk-in stores. Currently, wine is produced in the state from fruits, flowers and honey. Wineries will now be able to market their wines by selling them directly in supermarkets or in walk-in stores in a shelf-in shop manner.
