For a change, on a Saturday evening somebody thought of throwing a quite dinner with lots of wine for a limited guest list.

Rajbir Singh of Arjun International held a soft launch at The Forum, GK II, of Spanish wine as the first in the long list of products in the pipeline. The two wines launched were Cappel and Bodegas valle Delcorche.

Said Irena Galli, wife of Italian trade commissioner Guglielmo Galli: “Wine is a  fun drink. It doesn’t hit you and gives a soothing effect.” Concurred Mukesh Kalra, a friend of Rajbir: “This wine is really smooth.”

Said Rajbir Singh: “Wine is still not totally accepted in Delhi. There is only a niche crowd that is literate about drinks. To make it popular, I’ve priced these wines reasonably, Rs 500 onwards.”Rajbir and his wife Meenu played perfect hosts to Ambassador Zeljko Janjetovic of Bosnia & Herzegovina; Amar Kohli of Co Source Information Technology (who came with wife Latika; and yoga master Sunil Singh among others.On the pipeline are juices, blankets, candies and mineral water. More than Singh, it was his wife Meenu who seemed more excited about the launch of the juices: “My kids just love them. I love the forest fruit flavour because it has a very different taste and nothing like it is currently available in the Indian market.Also, like every housewife, for me too it is the price factor that makes it desirable.” The juices are priced at Rs 61 per litre.
