Nepal wine
Nepal wine is produced at the world's highest altitude vineyard (2,750m/9,000ft),[1] although vintners in the Andes near Salta, Argentina claim even higher altitudes.[2] It is located at Jomsom (Nepali: जोमसोम), Anapurna. Initially, 2 hectares were planted in 1992.
About 50 brands of wine are produced in Nepal.[3] Due to stringent alcohol sales in neighboring Bihar, Nepal sales are rising and continuing to remain strong.[4] A majority of Nepal sales are from Bihar as tourists seek of liquor.
