Best Wine in Delhi

Saulteaux_woman

Hi,

I've been living in Delhi for a while now, but can't seem to find great wine. All this time, I've been relying on family and friends to bring me imported wine, but as summer hit, so did the drop off in visiting friends.

Please feel free to name a great wine, price and location in Delhi where I can pick it up! Thanks all!

If you're in India, and want to 'stay connected' with the wine drinking crowd (which is a super minority here in the north - we do have some home grown stuff from maharashtra and maybe more followers in Bangalore), you could do well to visit the following sites for updates on where to buy, and events in the city relating to the same:
1. http://tulleeho.com/corporate/contact_us.asp. This is a small passionate group started by some management grads a few years ago.
2. The other is Sommelier India. They have all sorts of Information and look more formal than the previous gang.

good luck!

Thanks for the info, I'm not looking for an expert type answer, just looking for a good regular bottle of australian or French wine that I can have at home. I went to the wine store here and there was not much selection, I might check out Khan market today. Thanks for the info.

ps. the teepee pic was taken last summer at my home in Canada, my people do this culture week once a year for visitors.

Thank you!!!! Wine is about the same price as in most countries, but someone once bought me a bottle of Sula, I think thats the name, but it was the sweetest think I ever tasted, it was more like Real Fruit mixed with alcohol. So since then I just get people enroute to bring me a few bottle of wine from the duty free at the airport.

I noticed there are not a lot of wine drinkers in India, or maybe I just havent stumbled apon them yet!!!

Have you tried Miazma Sauvignon Blanc? This was the best by far of all the Indian wines I tried. Not bad at all. Also what type of Sula? The Chenin Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc not too bad. They did have one called late harvest that was like a fruit punch.

No I havent tried that wine, but I just wrote it down and will be buying a bottle in the next few days. Thanks for the tip, I'm not sure what type of sula it was, i just recieved it as a gift. I will let you know how my wine tasting adventure goes! and if you have any more tips they are more then welcome!
