Nepalese wine
Wine making in Nepal
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nepalese wine is produced at among the world's highest-elevation vineyards (2,750m/9,000ft),[1] along with vintners near Salta, Argentina in the Andes.[2] About fifty brands of wine are produced in Nepal.[3]
In the village of Jomsom, Mustang District, in the Annapurna region, 2 hectares were first planted in 1992.
Due to stringent restrictions on alcohol sales in neighbouring Bihar, India, sales in Nepal are rising among Indian tourists.[4]
Big Master Wines is Nepal's biggest wine-producing company and offers the widest range of wines in the country.[citation needed] Its parent company is Royal Kathmandu Himalaya Beverage Pvt. Ltd. Now the company is gearing up to officially launch Nepal's first luxury wines, Syrah and Chenin Blanc, under its flagship brand Big Master.[citation needed]
