Why retail ≠ bar ≠ restaurant

The same 750ml of whisky can cost ₹350 at a government wine shop, ₹900 at a bar, and ₹1,400 in a five-star restaurant. Each venue type is tracked separately — they're completely different economic stories.

State lines add another dimension. The same bottle can be 2–3× cheaper across a border because every state sets its own excise duty, MRP cap and retail model. That's what the colour coding on the map is showing you.
