Mizoram Minister for Horticulture P C Lalthanliana today flagged off the first consignment of 16,000 litres of concentrated grape wine to be blended in Guwahati from Mizoram-Myanmar border Champhai town.
The Guwahati-based Radiant Manufacturing Pvt Ltd which would make a wine branded as Vihno Porto from the concentrated grape juice and the Radiant Manufacture inked an MoU with the Champhai Grape Growers Society (CGGS) for supply of concentrated grape juice per annum.
