Lovers of Jacob’s Creek, Australia’s largest wine brand and India’s bestselling, may have said cheers this July. The Bombay High Court, which heard a petition filed by Pernod Ricard India, its importers, challenging the lack of an NOC from the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) for a shipload of its wine bottles, disposed the matter. Thanks to the order, the wine cases lying in Mumbai’s docks since October 2014 will now be allowed for sale in the domestic market. The food safety regulator, which has recently come under criticism for its arbitrary regulations, said the wine contained tartaric acid, which isn’t allowed in the proprietory foods category. Iqbal Chagla, counsel for Pernod, told sunday mid-day, “This wine has been imported for a little over 10 years without a problem. We argued that tartaric acid is even found in fruit juices sold all over India.”
