Learn about food and wine pairing, and even art while swirling on expensive chardonnay at the Mumbai Wine Tasting Festival, this year

Drinking wine is easy: simply tilt glass and swallow. And soon, you will enter a happy (in a stop-and-smell-the--roses-fashion) high. Truly tasting wine however, is more of a challenge. You need special tools: good sense of taste, keen concentration, a good memory, and a vivid imagination, not to mention the proper environment! If you consider yourself a connoisseur of wine, you are in for some intoxicating news.u00a0



The Mumbai Wine Tasting Festival 2010 returns to Mumbai this Friday, with the promise of a treasured experience. The festival offers domestic and international wines, eclectic gourmet food, barbecue, and live music to enhance the overall experience.
