Sofitel BKC Launches Wine Library 'Vinothéque'

SOFITEL MUMBAI BKC, has launched their Wine Library 'Vinothéque' at Artisan. The Vinothéque has specially been curated to enhance the knowledge of wine aficionados. Wine is a celebration of Sofitel Mumbai BKC’s French heritage and lineage, and symbolises the luxury quotient that the property brings to the city. Artisan is the perfect destination in a corporate hub with a soothing ambience to suit the guest’s mood.

Biswajit Chakraborty, General Manager, Sofitel Mumbai BKC says, “Modern India has created changing tastes and habits. Wine has gained cultural acceptance, perceived as a ‘family drink’ that could be consumed at home or socially. At Sofitel Mumbai BKC, we intend to be a repository of the best wines in the world and offer our guests an exquisite choice of more than a thousand wines that they currently may not have experienced. Thus, we are delighted to bring a comprehensive Wine library and collection, combining local and international favourites.”

Just like a library of books with an extensive collection featuring various genres, Artisan’s Wine Library also consists of an elaborate collection of international as well as Indian Wines and Champagnes that have been well researched and handpicked by our expert Sommelier. Christened as Vinothéque, this Wine Library at Artisan stocks a magnificent compilation of 320 bottles with over 80 international and local labels. The regions included are a mix of the new and old world. Complementing the exquisite wine tower at Le Bar Diamantaire, the Wine Library at Artisan is an exclusive collection of customized premium wines. In addition to this, there is a 3-dimensional wine model that has been placed in the library, which is a magnificent visual explanation of the entire wine making process. With a chic and contemporary ambience, coupled with palatable treats and impressive wines, guests can enjoy an intimate evening at Artisan.

To integrate technology at the wine library and make things easily accessible for guests, an iPad has been placed to give guests access to all information related to the wines presented at the library. The information bank covers details on the wine makers, its history, the process of making wines, its pairing and global wine ratings. In addition, guests and followers of Sofitel Mumbai BKC will constantly be informed via social media platforms of the ever-evolving library with updates on new wines. The hotel’s well-informed Sommelier at the Wine Library interacts with guests to understand their tastes as he selects and serves the best wines as per guest’s preferences. There are a host of wine accessories on sale as well at Artisan.

Vinothéque offers an exclusive range of vintage wines including Baron Philippe de Roth Chateau Mouton Rothschild Pauillac Bordeaux, France 2003, Grand Vin de Chateau Latour Premier Grand Cru Pauillac Bordeaux, France 2004, Dom Pérignon, Brut and Louis Roederer, Cristal, Brut that are renowned for a unique class of its own.
