If they can bring wine festivals like these, or just wine events, to the townships then the whole mentality of black people drinking more beer will change and as we know we are living in a changing country now - it's been ten years, so if we can bring something like this most black people are open to change these days.
11. SOUNDBITE (English) Siviwe Mnyaka, Soweto resident:
And I think we will see more and more black people coming through to these kind of festivals because there is already an existing trend, although it might be small, but there is an existing trend among black people drinking wine.

STORYLINE:
Far from the Cape winelands' fertile valleys, black city hipsters mingled with wealthy white farmers to swill, sniff and
sip from a selection of South Africa's finest vintages this weekend.
Soweto, a sprawling black township that was at the centre of the anti-apartheid struggle, was hosting its first wine festival.
An exclusive, mostly white industry attempted to tickle the palates of a nation of beer drinkers at the three-day event.
Festival participants could think of no better place to reach out to the largely untapped black market than the township that has long defined black urban style in South Africa.
Also at the festival were representatives of the Black Vinters Alliance - a group aimed at encouraging black participation in the country's wine industry - long run by the country's white elite.
As well as promoting black wine farmers, the Black Vinters Alliance also wants to educate township residents on the different wines available.
Vukile Mfilika, Chairman of the Black Vinters Association, said : the interest has been there for years, it's just that the opportunities were not really there for them.
One Soweto resident who attended the festival said she thought bringing wine to a townships like Soweto, was a good idea.
Puleng Mofolo said: If they can bring wine festivals like these, or just wine events, to the townships then the whole mentality of black people drinking more beer will change and as we know we are living in a changing country now.
