The partnership between Swissness and Wine and the Sommelier Association of India (SAI) is built on shared values of authenticity, education, and passion for wine. While Switzerland and India differ greatly in geography and culture, both celebrate diversity and craftsmanship qualities deeply rooted in winemaking.
