The mystery of the French paradox is sorted out. The French have relatively low levels of cholesterol and are less prune to heart diseases irrespective of the high calorie consumption food. This is merely due to the presence of the Red wine in their diet. Though Bangalore is the pub city of India, yet the consumption of wine is very less. The per capita consumption of wine in India is 10-12 ml per year whereas the per capita consumption in France and Italy is in the 45-55 litres range per year.
Wine is on a daily consumption in Italy and France just as Lassi & Butter milk in India. Indians use wine only during celebrations and Corporate events as people are yet to accept wine as staple drink. People still prefer beer to Wine, though wine has several benefits to health. The older the wine, the better and the more expensive it is. People must be willing to experiment with the variants in Wine, relishing their taste buds with different flavors. The wine industry in the country is expected to touch Rs 10,000 crore by 2020, from about Rs 1, 050 crore in 2008, yet there is a lot more to do to make people believe in the Wine culture. The wine tasting is also a great career to proceed with as it will give you a lot of fun filled experiences along with a high income.
