Subhash Arora, our editor and chief content provider at delWine, met with a serious car accident a few weeks ago. He is recovering well but is unable to write at present. Hence, this edition (#948) of delWine is a collection of ten of our older features, some even as old as 15 years, but still very relevant to the Indian Wine Industry.
Mr.Arora will be back at the helm very shortly; in the meantime, I hope you enjoy these articles.
Wishing you all a Happy Holi from all of us at delWine!
- Natasha Vohra (Asst. Editor, delWine)
