Queensland (Australia) Wine Industry Development Minister Margaret Keech is in India at the moment to encourage luxury hotels to stock their wines. She discussed their virtues with the former Bangalore Wine Club President on a visit to Grover Vineyards. Currently no Queensland wines are exported to India. To learn more visit their Wine Industry Association.

This does beg the question, will India at some point in the future need state and central wine ministers? Officials who can speak on behalf of the industry and help promote Indian wines around the world? Some government officials are already taking the initiative.
