 While one can celebrate the victory of his or her favourite team by ordering a full bottle of Taittinger Champagne for Rs.5000 ($100), wine by the glass is also available at Rs.325 each from Torres and Jacobs Creek, including the aromatic Viña Esmeralda and Sauvignon Blanc from San Medin and the ubiquitous Sangre de Toro. The prices are inclusive of taxes and service tax. Teetotalers can get by with only Rs.150 a drink. Even beer may cost as low as Rs.150 if ordered in a bucket.
There are Free-flow alcohol packages one can choose from, costing Rs.1000-Rs.2000 inclusive of unlimited snacks and alcohol- but the time is limited to 4pm-8pm –the time frame for most of the tournaments in India.
One wishes though that there were special prices for full bottle of wine too, say a price which gives you a glass free if you buy the full bottle- Pay for 4 glasses and buy 5 (the full bottle) –presuming that the wine serving is 5 glasses to a bottle.
The protagonists will, of course be the teams and the cricketers playing in a series of T-20 matches from April 18th to May 24th and to be shown live. Big TV screens are being installed by the Olive Beach Bar and Restaurant in Chanakyapuri, Delhi.
The venue for the second year of the highly popular cricket tournament has been shifted from India to South Africa due to the perceived security threats for the Indian and international players.
If you are looking for AD at the restaurant, you may be disappointed-at least during the first week- he has gone to Cape Town to watch the initial few matches. One doesn’t know if his fast ticking brain has some business angle too, but he does plan to visit a few wineries around the region. Who knows, one may soon find the Olive wine list ornamented by a few South African beauties as well? Their Sauvignons, Shirazes and even a few Cabernets and Merlots will do well with the menu-not to forget Pinotage.
