Grapes have grown in Thailand for centuries but it is only in the 20^th and 21^st centuries that the practice of wine making from grapes has prospered in the country.

People thinking of wine often think people talking about Thai wine are talking of the rice wine sato or some other such variety of wines that Asian countries are supposed to produce, they hardly associate Thai wine with anything remotely concerning grapes.

However, the Thai wine industry and wine types like Shiraz and Columbard are in full swing aided by a number of entrepreneurs, favourable laws and a growing influx of expatriates into the country.

The wines in the country are mostly of the red wine variety and wine making methods are largely supervised by individuals who come from wine making countries all over the world.
