| | | If it's a good red wine, it might just be from India
Bangalore Noveau anyone?
"La Reserve" has been named as the best red among New World wines, by Decanter Magazine
Interesting stats-Annual wine consumption in France 59 litres, USA 12 litres, China 2 glasses a year and India 200 people to empty one bottle.

| | | Indian wine is available here, but you probably wont find it at any 'Pigalle' obsessed Indian eaterys.
I came across this company which wholesales wine, while hunting for an exciting Portuguese vintage a couple of years back and now just have to find their catalouge.
Indian champers anyone? | |
