However, it was only in 1987 that Madhavrao More established a Co-operative Winery known as Pimpane Co-operative Ltd in collaboration with M/s Harbault & Fils Epernary France to manufacture wine from table grade grapes. Chardonnay and Pinot noir were planted and the Co-operative manufactured 500,000 bottles out of which 35,000 bottles were exported to France and to some other countries in Europe. But due to problems in harvesting this export was discontinued in 2003.
