One of the renowned luxury journalists in India, his interests lie across aviation, fashion, watches and automobiles. In this issue, he handpicks a few exclusive and interesting experiences at wineries and distilleries around the world. “Be that as it may, if you’re a connoisseur of wines and spirits, it’s never a bad idea to extend your business trip by a couple of days and cross the city limits to visit some of the well known vineyards and distilleries,” he says on page 72.
