Sommelier India - The Wine Magazine, January/February 2009, has just hit the news stands. With a special winemaker section for those with a more serious interest in wine including articles such as the Closure debate on corks and screwcaps by Jamie Goode, Indian Wines - the Road Ahead where Alok Chandra reports on a wine tasting in Nasik organised by Sula, and Where Viticulture is a Labour of Love by Michele Shah, this issue reflects the level of wine information that our readers now expect. Elsewhere in the issue, Jancis Robinson explains why it's not all doom and gloom for wine lovers during this economic meltdown and Steven Spurrier discusses the role of wine competitions.

And there's still more, Harshal Shah encourages us to look at fortified wines and Ruma Singh discovers Burgundy. Don't miss the issue! Subscribe now if you aren't a subscriber already.
