Photograph · Sommelier India

pom1a.jpgI would like to have one of my queries answered. Is it possible to produce wine from pomegranates? I come from Junnar (Taluka) of Pune District. I have 20 acres of land under pomegranates and have contacts with farmers around who are ready to jump into the business of winemaking. I can arrange 100 acres of pomegranate land for this business. If you have any ideas, please respond to Tushar by posting your comments here. Thank you. Ed.


pom1a.jpgI also have four acres of land about one kilometre ahead of Chateau Indage on Pune-Nasik Road. So, is there scope and demand for pomegranate wine in the Indian market? Is it advisable to go ahead? Kindly guide. Thank you and regards, Tushar (099673 29497)
