Wine grape harvest for 2016 has started at Sula Vineyards, India’s largest wine producer. “This year we will crush close to 13,000 MT of grapes, up 20% from 2015. Total farmer payments will cross Rs. 50 crores” said Sula CEO Rajeev Samant. “The grapes will come from across Maharashtra at our three wineries here, and from across Karnataka for our Karnataka winery. This year the effects of climate change and global warming are highly apparent with our harvest starting fully two weeks earlier than ever before.” Samant added that the industry as well as wine growers are bearing the brunt of climate change and having to rapidly adapt their practices to cope with the often adverse effects.
