After the peach party early in the year - we're now treated to the grape party as the last grapes on the arbour become beautifully sweet - the famous vendanges tardives. We've had amazing heat in this Indian summer and the insects are cleaning up the 'noble rot'.
here's a fruitfly (Drosphila melanogaster) and some his friends having a go.
Nashik is very famous for grapes, onions and tomatoes, all of which are grown in huge quantities. The wine culture is growing at an alarming speed for both growers and wine makers.
Nashik was famous for its table grapes for a very long time. In early 1925, the Table Grape revolution was started by Shree Ramrao Jairamji Gaikwad, who is known to have been the first person to commercially grow table grapes, in Ojhar, a small town near Nashik. He is known as the Father of Indian grapes and revolutionised not only grape growing, but also other crop cultivation practices. Today, table grapes are being exported in great quantities to Europe, the Middle East and Asia. They are used to make raisins and juices. Nashik also exports a reasonable quantity of onions. Agriculture contributes greatly towards the Nashik's economy.
