Sula Vineyards Newsletter September 2006 In the newsletter this month: - Wine retail freed up in Maharashtra - Guaranteed fresh! - Ruffino Movie Tips - Goa in Your Pocket Wine retail freed up in Maharashtra In a landmark move, the Maharashtra Government has freed up the retailing of wine with immediate effect. Supermarkets and grocery stores are now allowed to sell wine and this move will hugely boost wine sales in the state. It’s significant to note that no wine retail license has been issued in the state for the past 30 years and suddenly thousands of new retail outlets are expected to start selling wine in the next few months. Click here to read TOI’s take on the announcement. Guaranteed fresh! Out with the cork, and in with the Stelvin screwcap! Sula joins the ranks of other progressive wine makers from New Zealand and Australia in switching over from cork to a better option for its fresh, fruity whites. Screwcaps will transform the wine experience offering a friendly, quick and simple opening alternative. In addition, it will also allow the bottle to be resealed ensuring that the wine remains fresher for longer. Screwcaps mean, no more crumbling corks and the bottles can now be stored upright. Our Sauvignon Blanc 2006 is our first release with Stelvin, and our Blush Zin, Chenin Blanc and Red Zin will soon follow. That’s guaranteed freshness! Ruffino Movie Tips The superb Ruffino Riserva Ducale, imported by Sula Selections makes it to the big screen in the new fashionista satire ‘The Devil wears Prada’ starring Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway. The lush Chianti features in two romantic scenes during the film. Why not see what its romance can offer you?
