Nashik: The wine capital

Nashik, long famous for its grapes has become the subcontinent's Sonoma Valley,the heart of $100 million industry that has seen annual growth of more than 25% from 2003. Most indian wine bottles cost $10 which are more affordable compared to foreign wines which are heavily imposed by import duty and excise taxes. Things have changed with people becoming wealthier with economy boom and more Wineries are opened to quench their thirst. For instance a bollywood actress 10 years back would drink on screen to show her character is of loose moralsand now it is done for elegance. Although we still need to improve our exports.
