One In a Billion - Becoming India’s First Master of Wine

When Sonal C Holland left her high-paying corporate job, she knew she what she didn’t want—a boring nine-to-five—but not exactly what she wanted. Enter wine, a drink enjoyed only by the elite in India, but with immense potential for growth. Wine communication and teaching would play to Sonal’s strengths as a communicator and a networker, she and her husband Andrew rightly identified. The goal was set: to become India’s first wine communicator by winning the title of Master of Wine, the highest certification in the wine world and held by barely 400 people around the world.
