Wine Consultant Sujata Patil admits that few people understand what to drink and in which weather and also what to pair with which wine. “People should start with white wine, then rose and then go for the red ones so that they develop a taste for wine slowly. It has to be a gradual process, it is not like hard drinks. The alcohol content in wine is less and so it is mostly consumed to keep oneself warm and enjoy the weather,” she states.

Cyber crime investigator Sagar Rahurkar observes that he prefers red wine. “I feel that fish and light food goes well with white wine and others with red wine. One has to develop a taste for wine to enjoy it. Real wine drinkers always enjoy red or white wine more than sparkling ones.” He adds that sparkling wine has less alcohol in it so it is usually preferred by a lot of females.

Cyber security consultant Ashay Rege, says, “I prefer red wine as I feel it goes well with Indian weather. Sparkling wine is more in demand as it tastes like champagne; the trend will go off in a few days.”
