From Ancient Vineyards to Modern Tables: A Toast to Indian Sommeliers
India, with its vibrant culture and rich history, is on a new journey into the world of aromas, flavors, and the art of wine appreciation. The country’s wine production history spans thousands of years, with archaeological findings showing that ancient Indians were cultivating grapes as early as 7000 BC, alongside rice and barley. Today, India dedicates thousands of acres to grape cultivation, significantly contributing to the economy with some of the world’s renowned wines. The Sommeliers Association of India aims to be the guiding light for sommeliers, enthusiasts, and the entire Indian alcohol and beverage ecosystem, supporting the continued growth and appreciation of this rich tradition.
