When word got out about the health benefits of wine, most wine drinkers stopped swirling for a long minute and took notice...

As scientists have approved, that moderate consumption of wine is good for health but it has also been said that not every wine is of same medicinal value. Studies have shown that cutting calories can prolong life in everything from yeast cells to mammals. However, an easier way to live longer may be as simple as turning a corkscrew. Molecules found in red wine, peanuts, and other products of the plant have known to mimic the life-extending effects of calorie restriction. This could help researchers develop drugs that lengthen life and prevent or treat aging-related diseases. One of the molecules, resveratrol, was shown in a study to extend the life span of yeast cells by up to 80 percent. Resveratrol exists naturally in grapes and red wine.

N.D. Wines is the first winery in India to grow the world famous cabernet sauvignon – reserve & sauvignon Blanc reserve.

Galaxy, Cabernet Syrah & Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc are the assortments from the stable of N.D Wines, which has been researched and developed not only for pleasure but also for perfect health and vigor.

Founder Chairman of N.D. wines Mr. Ashok Gaikwad believes, “With growing popularity of wines in domestic market our vision is to be the leader in world market and be known as the quality wine producer from India. We are hoping to challenge the supremacy of winemaking countries in an effort to gain a foothold in the international wine market.” Indian consumers are not very aware of the pros and health benefits of wine, which prompts entrepreneurs like Mr. Gaikwad to adopt unconventional ways of promoting wine. “We educate people about wine and its health benefits via wine festivals and other means to develop wine culture in India as well as to eradicate the misconceptions prevalent in Indian masses about wine.”
