Drinking from a bottle of beer or a fancy cocktail glass has its perks. But we-ve always found a can far more convenient - it-s easier to chill in the refrigerator and you can carry it around without being afraid of your bag-s contents being doused in alcohol. And that satisfying sound of a pop. All of which we-ve never got as far as wine is concerned in India. But the new Dia wine sparkler by Sula, offers just that.
The 330 ml variants - white and red - aren-t too big and can fit into a handbag. We begin with the white, which is surprisingly smokey, a taste that stays for long owing to the mild sweetness. Two sips in and we get a lingering kala khatta aftertaste, which just doesn-t go.
Puzzled, we try the red wine sparkler, and this one retains the sweetness that Dia wines are known for, though with the additional fizz. It also has a bitter aftertaste, which is quite unexpected, but we aren-t complaining.
