This is my second year participating in the Alternative Breaks program at FIU, where students travel to volunteer during their breaks from school.
Since the trip is school-sponsored and service-based, there's a strict no alcohol policy. Still, that doesn't mean I can't do my research.
First question: Does Thailand even make their own wine?
Answer: Yes! The Thai wine association was formed in 2004.
Five years? Whoa that's young, considering that most countries started their wine associations before the 1800s.
Second question: What are the most popular grape varietals/growing regions?
Answer: Varietals are a mystery. Vineyards seem to be generally in the southern area of the country.
Google is doing me no good. It seems to be a more popular choice within the vino community to pair wine with Thai food than to drink Thai wine. I'll see what info I can get from the locals.
Be back on the 24th!
