Hi...
I am going to travel to Bangalore on business solo. I'm female and of Indian descent but raised in North America. I am staying at a nice 5 star hotel and the food should be good at this hotel. But I like to drink wine on occasion with my meal. My husband is telling me that drinking wine at a 5 star hotel as a single female may be construed negatively by Indian onlookers. I don't want any unwanted atttention but I do like to have a glass of wine with my dinner on occasion. But, is it true even in Bangalore? I assumed that most of the people staying at this hotel would be business travellers as well. Please let me know if it is frowned upon.
Thanks in advance.
Female travelling to Bangalore - question about drinking.
Re: Female travelling to Bangalore - question about drinking
Absolute mis-conception! Bangalore has changed a lot over the years and its "very" normal to have your wine with the meal at the hotel. It has never been a problem at 3-5 star hotels here. Even normal eat-out restaurants offer complimentary wine with lunch. People no longer notice you based on what you are drink.
