The show will be co-located once again with SIAL India, one of the biggest global food shows. In Mumbai, Vinexpo India had gone solo as SIAL India had chosen May 2023 as their next stop.<\/p>\n<p>Masterclasses will again be a highlight with an organisation of 15 Masterclasses- there will be even higher participation by foreign regions and wineries- with Italy, France, South Africa, Portugal, Australia and several EU countries participating. Though each Masterclass will be designed for 50 pax but learning from the Mumbai experience, the organisers claim they will be able to accommodate more people \u2013 In Mumbai the number reached 95 and hovered generally between 65-95. Every Masterclass will have wine poured for tasting\/sipping \u2013 a tradition set in Delhi and carried out in Mumbai as well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Excise Dilemma<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One of the biggest dilemmas facing the wine and liquor policy in India has been the independent control of taxes and policies by each state, thus affecting prices and corresponding illegal trading from state to state. Nowhere is the difference so noticeable and the whole approach so dogmatic as in Delhi when compared with Maharashtra.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_lft\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-lft\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indianwineacademy.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_1043.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5303\" src=\"https:\/\/www.indianwineacademy.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_1043-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"A Masterclass on Swiss Gin and Whisky products\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.indianwineacademy.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_1043-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.indianwineacademy.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_1043-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.indianwineacademy.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_1043.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-lft\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A Masterclass on Swiss Gin and Whisky products<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><u>In Delhi, one may not display and taste the brands that are already registered. But in Mumbai only those brands that are registered can participate- a diagonally opposite stand<\/u>. Foreign producers are &nbsp;&nbsp;of course, allowed to participate freely in both cities against license and payment of customs and applicable excise duties.<\/p>\n<p>Delhi thus precludes mostly large domestic producers from participating as they have registered practically all the labels. &nbsp;The reason given by an officer from the excise department last year was that wine shows were not a place for partying with wines. If wines are already registered, the customers can always go to the market and buy them.<\/p>\n<p>Not true. At all.<\/p>\n<p>The excise authorities and the wine trade (both off trade and on trade) need to understand and appreciate that there are differences in wine characteristics from vintage to vintage and it is imperative for the palates and the industry to develop- both on trade and off trade, for the people to taste the difference. That\u2019s why international shows like Vinexpo are important for the growth of industry.<\/p>\n<p>The Delhi government needs to change its stand- so does the Maharashtra government. &nbsp;They must allow the brands whether registered or not and make Indian wines have a level field against the foreign entries. In the meantime, the Show will follow the rules strictly as in the previous shows that went very smoothly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mixed participation<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_lft\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-lft\" style=\"width: 399px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indianwineacademy.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/20220818_130504.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5309\" src=\"https:\/\/www.indianwineacademy.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/20220818_130504-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"One of the Masterclasses in Vinexpo Mumbai 2022\" width=\"399\" height=\"299\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.indianwineacademy.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/20220818_130504-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.indianwineacademy.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/20220818_130504-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.indianwineacademy.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/20220818_130504.jpg 791w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 399px) 100vw, 399px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-lft\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">One of the Masterclasses in Vinexpo Mumbai<br>2022<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Unless the policy is changed in Delhi, it may not be a positive encouragement for the big players to showcase their wines or spirits.
