More Champagne in the Maldives

Did you know that the Champagne in the Maldives is as popular as it is in India? The Maldives has a population of just 350,000 compared to India’s 1.2 Billion but as Ashwin Deo mentioned in a recent Economic Times article, ” In spite of a reduction of tax and duties (155-240%), the Maldives size of the champagne market is equal in size to the Indian one at around 10,000 cases.” The tourists who visit the Maldives mostly drink Moet & Hennessey, Moet & Chandon Krug, Dom Perignon and Veuve Cliquot.
