Moksh Rajpal and Divesh Gupta receives award in the blind tasting category at Spiritz 2025

The Spiritz Awards recognise the finest beverages in India for their taste and quality. Winning Gold in a blind tasting, where judges don’t know which brand they are sampling, proves the authentic flavour and natural quality of ANIMAL.

Every sip of ANIMAL comes from apples from Himachal Pradesh. Made through a natural fermentation process.

“ANIMAL is not just a drink but  a promise of purity,” said Moksh Rajpal, Chief of Staff, Indian Wine Company. “We wanted to create something that feels real, honest, and proudly Indian. It’s made for everyone who loves great taste without compromise.”

This achievement not only cements ANIMAL’s place within the fraternity, but also highlights the rise of Indian-origin, innovation-led brands redefining global quality benchmarks. With its distinctive 15% cider composition and unapologetically bold character, ANIMAL is spearheading a new era of experimentation and craftsmanship in the Indian beverage space, one where local ingredient meets international standards.

At a competitive price, ANIMAL offers consumers a drink that’s both premium and natural, blending India’s richness with world-class quality. Whether you’re celebrating, relaxing, or sharing moments with friends, ANIMAL stands apart as the drink that’s naturally perfect, and perfectly natural.
