爱喝酒的印度人通常选择喝威士忌。但慢慢地，葡萄酒在印度越来越受欢迎。印度第一个种植酿酒用的葡萄的农场是苏拉葡萄园。该葡萄园于15年前开始经营。

Indian tradition has not been approving of alcoholic drinks. And until now whiskey is the kind of alcohol that the general public has accepted.
印度传统一直未认可酒精饮料。直到现在，广大市民已经接受的只有威士忌。

Neeraj Agarwal is vice president of Sula Vineyards. He has seen the change that has taken place since the company struggled to sell its first several thousand bottles of wine in 2000. Last year, Sula sold more than seven million bottles. Mr. Agarwal believes that wine is helping change opinion about alcohol.
阿贾瓦尔（Neeraj Agarwal）是苏拉葡萄园的副总裁。他已经看到了自该公司2000年艰难出售其第一批的几千瓶葡萄酒以来发生的变化。去年，苏拉葡萄园售出了7百多万瓶葡萄酒。阿贾瓦尔先生认为，葡萄酒有助于改变人们关于酒的观念。

"In five years, the scenario has completely changed. Earlier, talking about alcohol in the open and seeing a woman having a glass of wine in hand was a taboo. Now, it's wonderful, families coming, sitting together and enjoying," Agarwal said.
阿贾瓦尔说，“五年来情况完全变了。此前公开谈论酒以及女人喝酒都是一个禁忌。现在，家人们围坐在一起喝酒，真爽。”

Young professionals are the main supports of the growth in India's wine market. The market is expanding at about 13 percent a year. Over the last 10 years, 90 wineries have opened across Karnataka and Maharashtra states, where the climate is favorable for growing wine grapes.
年轻的专业人士是印度葡萄酒市场增长的主要支撑。葡萄酒市场以每年13%的速度增长。在过去十年里，已经有90家酒厂在卡纳塔克邦和马哈拉施特拉邦各地开业，那里的气候有利于种植酿酒葡萄。

Indian women still represent a very small number of the wine drinkers in the country. But their numbers are growing more than twice as fast as men.
印度妇女在该国葡萄酒饮用者中仍然只占极少数，但是妇女饮用葡萄酒人数的增长速度超过了男性的两倍。

There are several reasons for this. One is that more women have joined the workforce in the last ten years, and have independent incomes. In big cities like Delhi and Mumbai, women buying wine or having a drink is no longer considered unacceptable.
这有几个方面的原因。原因之一是过去十年有更多女性参加工作并有独立收入。在德里和孟买这样的大城市，女性购买葡萄酒或者喝一杯不再被认为是无法接受的事情。
