"विजय दीनानाथ चौहान"- "पूरा नाम"- हैं Reading Wine Label- Pura Naam

"विजय दीनानाथ चौहान"- "पूरा नाम"- हैं

Don't be surprised I am talking about reading wine labels.
Now a days people are more interested in wines, however if you think Wine is a complicated drink, you Are right.
Having said that, it has got its own identity as we have.
We make friends by many means. Same is with wine. Wine will be our friend if we know it little better, friendship will be more deep when we remember their names. and understand their character.
Here, I have an personal interpretation of knowing wine by its name.
Let me introduce to you, one of my wine friend Sula and it's family. And how to remember Sula family members and their name's.
Let's go to the basic of Reading wine label: (Applicable to most of the wines)
“The Four Vs” of wine
1.      Variety – Vitis vinifera = the species of grape used for fine wine. Examples are: Cabernet, Syrah, merlot, Chenin blanc
2.      Vineyard location – Climate effects the Style
Cool climate = less ripe grapes = lighter bodied the wine eg. Germany
Warm climate = very ripe grapes = fuller bodied the wine eg. Australia
3.      Vintage – The year the grapes are harvested
Good vintage = Good weather during the growing season
4.      Vintner – The person who makes the wine

Sula is one of the popular Wine brand of India. India being new world wine country, it's wines have varietal labels with grape variety on the label.
And when we read the label, the 4 V are more handy. To read the name of this wine label where -

Sula is the Vintner
Chenin Blanc is the Variety
Nashik is the Vineyard location
2015 is the Vintage

So the full name of this wine is

Sula, Chenin Blanc, Nashik, India, 2015 "पूरा नाम"

However, to enjoy the flavours of friendship with wine you need to go more close and experience the wine character by choosing the grape variety.
As every wine have variety of colour, flavour, body, and acidity which is given by grape variety of that wine.
As i said Sula have a family and some of their family members are 
Sweet as Late Harvest Chenin blanc (SHEN-in-BLAHNK), some are 
Sparkling as Brut tropical and some are 
white Like Riesling (rees-lihng) with Smile and a perfect blend of Big red
Satori Tempernilo enlightenment.
You may make your choices by exploring the colour you like, taste you love and unlimited conversations you do with your loved ones, over a perfect glass of wine.
Cheers!!!
