Hello - first of all this is a very informative blog for a British Indian seeing the growth of industries in India.

What kind of must you guys pays when importing wine into cities such as: Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Kolkata, Pune, Bangalore and Hyderabad?

Also when you people talk about importing wines does that mean importing direct from vineyards or the general consumer ordering wine from online merchants based in the West?

Thanks
