India? Indian Wines?

From a BBC News article about - who would have guessed? - Indian wines.
Indian wines could be one of the next big things among UK drinkers, according to a London-based wine merchant.
Novum Wines has started to import a range of bottles from India's biggest selling premium wine producer Sula.

Based in the Nasik region, 120 miles from Mumbai (Bombay), Sula makes red, white, rose, sweet and sparkling wines.

It was founded in 1997 by Rajeev Samant who gave up his well-paid computer job in the US to return to his homeland.

Sula imported its original vines from France and Australia, and uses traditional grape varieties such as cabernet sauvignon and shiraz.

Try the Chenin Blanc. I have served it often at parties and people love the novelty and the fruit flavors.
