Kulpreet Yadav gives a round up of fruit wines in Kasauli:
I would strongly recommend fruit wine, made by a local brewery
called Sutter House (now called Waterfall Wines), available everywhere.
It comes in riotous colors and flavors like peach, strawberry, apricot,
grapes, rhododendron and apple. The best part is the price. A bottle of
750 milliliters ranges from 130-300 rupees only.
"Why so cheap?", I asked the local guy at the "daily needs" shop,
who sold me some fantastic square shaped homemade Chicken salami the
previous evening. "Sir, it is all due to this tax exemption", he began
hesitatingly. Stutter house began four years ago with a tax holiday
window (part of the HP Government’s drive to boost investment in the
state) and last year when the holiday was coming to an end, the company
just overnight changed the name to Waterfall and got another tax
holiday for five years.
"Smart!", I exclaimed and bought two bottles -- peach for 150 rupees
and rhododendron for 200 rupees. Rhododendron, made out of wild red
alpine flowers found in the higher reaches of the Himalayas, was
cunningly mysterious (refraining me from conclusively declaring from
the flavor wheel). It ranged from being fruit intensive to something
like cocktailed with sweet Chinese vinegar. However, the peach wine was
sportingly sweet for an unaccustomed Indian palate.
