L74 Craft Cider, a trailblazing Indian craft cider brand by Wild Harvest Brewing Pvt Ltd, has made history by winning multiple accolades at the prestigious International Cider Challenge 2024 in London. The brand secured two Gold medals, one Silver, and one Bronze, becoming the first Indian cider to clinch Gold in a tasting category—a landmark achievement for India’s burgeoning cider industry.

The International Cider Challenge is a highly respected global competition that attracts top cideries and wineries from around the world. Judged through rigorous blind tastings, the awards recognize exceptional taste and quality. L74’s Craft Apple Cider earned a Silver in the Specialty Cider category, while its Craft Coffee Cider won Gold in the Flavoured Cider category. Additionally, L74’s Craft Citrus Cider was awarded a Bronze, and the brand also took home Gold for its innovative packaging and design, underlining its commitment to both quality and visual appeal.

Expressing pride in the brand’s achievement, Kalp Patel, Director of Wild Harvest Brewing Pvt Ltd, said, “These awards are a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team. We’re thrilled to be bringing a world-class product to the Indian market in a relatively new category. Our success wouldn’t have been possible without the trust of our retail and distribution partners, and these wins reflect their belief in our vision.”

As the global cider market continues to expand—projected to reach USD 11.4 billion by 2032—L74 is poised to redefine the Indian cider landscape with its dedication to quality, innovation, and exceptional flavour.
