    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.

    Have read about this but never thought of India as a wine-producing area... always too hot to grow grapes? Will have to try a bottle or two to find out for myself

    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?
