I wanted to say something about Shiraz Wine, I have once read/ or heard from  a radio and most probably from BBC that the Reza Shah the Great once was in Fars Province where he had Shiraz Wine at the house of t Mr. Farmanfarma the General Governor of Fars.

The Shah liked the wine very much and had invited a German Industrialist to come to Iran and produce the wine for domestic and overseas export.

The German had arrived to Iran and he had done a complete study and even ordered the machinery and equipment from Germany but he had to leave Iran immediately as by then the South of Iran was occupied by British during the WW2.

This German is said to have taken the varieties of Shiraz Grapes with him to Australia where it was caltivated and grown.
