About Wines In India

India known for its rich and varied heritage has been seen also for the growth of its wine-producing industries. The people of India have taken more interests in wines than ever before. This love of wine by the people of the country has made India produce wine in most of its regions and now it has led to a new concept called as ‘wine tourism' in India.

What is ‘wine tourism'?
Wine tourism is nothing but taking people around the established vineyards and wineries and letting them know about the process and practices involved in making of different kinds of wines they are interested in. The people are allowed to taste the wines themselves and can even buy these wines and take home a few bottles which please their senses. Evening stroll around the vineyards and a great meal in the vineyard restaurant served with a wine of their selection is something that almost all of the tourists enjoy.

Sula Wines and Tiger Hills Vineyards are two of the famous and prosperous wine making industries in India and have set up resorts and wine tasting programs and even offer wine education to people who have no knowledge about wines.

Wine Tasting and Wine Education are not the same as just Drinking Wine. The first two have a lot more different meaning than the last term. Drinking Wine is just drinking the wine in a goblet and enjoying it. But wine tasting is the art of appreciating and commenting on a given variety of wine. Wine tasters can tell everything about the wine by just taking a sip out of it.

Wine education is fast spreading in the country lately. Famous vineyards and wineries in India have set up wine education facilities in their resorts. People above the drinking age can join this course and know more about the wine that they drink. There are even certain institutions set up to spread wine education. WSET (Wines & Spirits Educational Trust) is one such institution which is set up in Mumbai by the KBR School of Wines. It is a 2-day 6-hours course which covers the entire prescribed curriculum of the WSET organization.
