Can you really get wine grapes in Bangkok? What kind? Where do they come
from?

There are a number of vineyards in Thailand, mainly on the Khorat
Plateau or in the mountains around Chang Mai, in the north. One of the
Chang Mai vineyard's vines were imported from France and their wine is
expensive (very over priced by my standards).

Getting wine grapes is difficult as most vineyards make their own
wine and are reluctant to sell grapes.

I have a D-in-Law who runs a business in one of the resort areas in
the Khorat area and knows one of the vineyard managers so I can get
small lots of merlot grapes that way.
