Interesting! I went out to India last summer and tried as much wine as I could get my hands on, sadly just missed out on going to a vineyard near Bangalore too. Sula and Fratelli were the two that I came across the most there. Also tried some Grover Zampa and a few others. I found it a bit hit and miss, maybe partly to do with how the wines are stored out there in the liquor shops (basically open to the elements) so not surprising there were a few not so good. But from restaurants I found the quality better, even for the same wines. Perhaps the best I enjoyed out there was coincidentally the Sula Chenin Blanc! (or blank as you say ;) ). It didn't blow me away but it was good and reliable and nice and refreshing in the heat! Interesting you can buy bottles for under £8 in England, they started around £14 there and the price is set by the government, which changes on which region you're in. So if you buy a Tamil Nadu wine in the north it'll be 'imported' and therefore more expensive. I drank my only bottle I brought back (Fratelli Cab Sav) not too long ago, not surprisingly I found it very different against french wine (I'm in Paris, so always drinking french) but it brought back memories of the trip for sure. Other wines I'd like to see: Montenegro, Plantaže, Vranac (I visited the vineyard so I'd be interested to see what you think, and I'm fairly certain wine society stocks it) And some English wine! Great vid as ever 👍

@@blurds thanks for such a great detailed comment. I've heard a lot about the challenges with storage over there, perhaps why we don't see too much of it in the UK. Thanks for the suggestions. I have an English Wine video scheduled to release in the next month or so. Cheers

India, for my opinion, has same same climate as my country Vietnam. Hoping someday Viet Nam's wines will be able to export to some countries ^^

8 pounds for you, I live in the same state this wine is made, and we pay the equivalent of 11 pounds for this crap!! Thanks to the high taxes on wine in Maharashtra.
