In fact, Indian Chamber of Commerce (ICC) which organised Vinitaly India Roadshow for the first time (for the uninitiated, Veronafiere had organised Vinitaly India once before perhaps 2 decades ago, but not as a Roadshow). The organisers insisted that due to shortage of time, wines ought not to be served. Also, the producers would be wined out during the two days of tasting-first at the Ambassador\u2019s Residence and then the \u2018public\u2019 tasting at Dwarka on the second day.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read : <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indianwineacademy.com\/articles\/item_1_966\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #990000;\">Vinitaly India Roadshow 2025: Brilliant Recipe to promote Italian wines<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indianwineacademy.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/whatsapp-image-2025-03-30-at-01-06-25.webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-18724\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0px; margin-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 1px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.indianwineacademy.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/whatsapp-image-2025-03-30-at-01-06-25-225x300.webp\" alt=\"Ristorante Dali serves Italian Flavours for the visiting Vinitaly India Delegation\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.indianwineacademy.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/whatsapp-image-2025-03-30-at-01-06-25-225x300.webp 225w, https:\/\/www.indianwineacademy.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/whatsapp-image-2025-03-30-at-01-06-25-768x1024.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.indianwineacademy.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/whatsapp-image-2025-03-30-at-01-06-25-1152x1536.webp 1152w, https:\/\/www.indianwineacademy.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/whatsapp-image-2025-03-30-at-01-06-25-1024x1365.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.indianwineacademy.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/whatsapp-image-2025-03-30-at-01-06-25.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a>With some persuasion, Arora made them agree on serving a glass of Prosecco each on their arrival to take care of their parched throats.
