Dear Starlight,

Good point. Let me clarify that the eNewsletter delWine is about wine, food, and hospitality industry. We cover many news items related to hotel industry. We even cross over to Retail occasionally, as wine retail marketing will be a significant segment soon, as the government liberalizes its norms. It also gives an interesting picture to the wine producers globally, many of whom are also our regular visitors.

We also write about beer and spirits related news to some extent, as related beverages. Mr. Sushil Gupta is very much a part of the hotel industry and we feel the News will be of interest to the hotel fraternity.

The main focus and forte of Indian Wine Academy is wine and it will continue to be so. Thank you for pointing it out. Cheers.

Subhash Arora
