He exclaimed, "Indian market has potential as the people here appreciate good cuisine and beverages. We have a history of making wine since the 14th Century."
In ancient times it was consumed for its medicinal values and currently scientists have ascertained that it fights against cholesterol and heart diseases. Charles Henri, proprietor commented, "The annual harvest yields the white wine with low content of alcohol and high content of acidity, which is necessary to keep the freshness and aroma of the drink. It is necessary to educate people about wine manufacturing. Only then they will understand the enigmatic taste. Many people don't know that Armagnac is also used to digest food."
