Subhash Arora, President of the Indian Wine Academy has been invited as a Guest Speaker to talk about Wine and Health at the Red Wine, Tea, Chocolate and Health Conference being organised in Philadelphia, USA on October 1.

The conference has been organised by Oliver & Company Tea Room in conjunction with the nationally acclaimed Prostate Cancer Awareness Week being held from September 24-28.

Says Brenda Board, a Tea Chef and a French Wine Sommelier, 'Red wine, tea and chocolates all have strong anti-oxidants. We are glad to have the rare presence of Mr. Subhash Arora, as he is the finest spokesperson in India on wine.'

Arora has been a regular visitor at the International Wine and Heart Health Conference, held in Napa Valley every two years under the aegis of Desert heart Foundation, Arizona. Top cardiologists from around the world, wine connoisseurs and educators from UC Davies and medical doctors producing wine congregate for three days to discuss the latest studies on wine and health . Prof. Serge Renaud and Dr. Curt Ellison, Dr. Tedd Goldberg, Dr. Arthur Klatsky and Prof. Andrew Waterhouse of UC Davies are regular particpants .

Arora has spoken on the subject to many groups. A conference was also organised by him through the Delhi Wine Club a couple of years ago in collaboration with the French Embassy. Titled, 'After French Paradox', the panel had a discussion on various health aspects of wine.

As a part of the conference, the lecture will be delivered at the Sheraton University City Hotel, Philadelphia in the evening. It is a ticketed event at $75 a person.
