"There is a thirst for knowledge when it comes to wine. But what people learn during winery tours in Nashik and other events, is often limited to acronyms like SSSS - See, Swirl, Smell, Sip. This offers a shallow understanding," says Balgi, who's also the founder of The Happy High, the event's organiser.
