- Bengaluru - The origins of viticulture and oenology in India can be traced back to the Bronze Age, with the introduction of these practices by Persian merchants. Subsequently, European explorers introduced wine to the royal courts of Mughal emperors such as Akbar, Jehangir, and Shah Jehan. A significant advancement in winemaking was later achieved by Portuguese settlers in the 16th century, who enhanced the existing wine production.
