Move over vodka and rum

Move over vodka and rum, a host of traditional beverages are making their presence felt in the city.

Mumbai, over the years, has learnt to experiment with cuisines from around the world. Given its unique gastronomical culture, it’s only natural that traditional alcoholic beverages from various countries too have made it to the city’s eating joints to complement the burst of respective international flavours.

In the march of traditional alcoholic beverages, Italian and French wines have always topped the list. But one of the most recent additions to the city’s wine collections is the South African wine at Ubuntu, a South African speciality restaurant in Andheri West. “They have a variety of wines which are not your regular ones. Laborie Chardonnay with a hint of citrus, candied fruit and butterscotch, has a creamy aftertaste with a subtle crispness while Sauvignon Blanc with a delightful a hint of guava and dried fruits is good as an after-meal drink,” says Aaron D’Mello, a regular there.
