Nashik has been there at the top as wine producer, but
it lacked in wine culture. So, to make amends, the wine
industry decided to set up a women's wine club.
A group of women came forward in support. Defying the
conservative culture of the city, they announced, "We
now have a wine club." With wine goblets in their
hands, they toasted to the future of wine industry.
Sharmila Deshmukh, who was chosen the first president
of the club, said, "Women are not lagging behind
in any field. We also intend to play a role in the wineries".
The women's club will not only promote wine, but will
also help to generate employment opportunities for women
in the industry.
Jagdish Holkar, CMD Flamingo wines, said, "Wine
pronounces culture. But it had been restricted to the
top most echelon of the society. This club will give
upper-middle and middle-class women a taste of wine
and enable them to enjoy good life. The club will also
promote home-made wines."
'Though a novel enterprise, the launch of the club
could be better managed. Members were at a loss explaining
the utility of such a club. A better organised agenda
is required to make it a success. After all, anything
to do with wine has to be stylish and classy', comments
the news report.
