What are Boutique Vineyards?

You must have come across a term “boutique vineyard” that is often used in vineyards on your trip to any of the vineyards in Nashik or any other city.
So what exactly does this term refer to? 

Boutique wines, at the most basic level are a term that is used to refer to a small winery and vineyard establishment that provides the public with specialized products and services. Yes, you heard it right! Specialized products and services!  Well, that is how this term can be related to with the Soma Vine Village and vineyard.
Considering the aam janta of India, we've all been to places like these where they're quaint, small, with a nice staff to answer your every need on both food and drinks. However, when compared with the winery behemoths, we can prefer to stick to such attractive and, more unique and heartfelt setting. Yet, what could be the exact definition?

How many cases of wine per year does it count to be considered to fall it into the small category? And is it that larger wineries do not provide the public with specialized products and services? 
 So, what does the word ”boutique” has to do with the wines or the vineyards?
Does the word "boutique" mean that the quality will be superior to that of their lower priced products? Or does it need to be expensive to qualify as specialized?  At present, these boutique wines, have turned out to be the go-to-drinks which are a must haves in the world of wine. 

Understanding the term more widely and having in depth information about the same will give you more clarity of thought about “boutique vineyards”. So, we shall discuss about it in our next post in detail.
