Assam’s Judima rice wine becomes first beverage from Northeast to get GI tag
The Dimasa community prepares the beverage from rice and a certain herb.
Judima, the wine brewed by the Dimasa community in Assam, has been awarded the geographical indication (GI) tag.
This wine made from rice and a certain herb is the first beverage from the north-east to earn this label.
Judima is intrinsic to the social and cultural life of the Dimasas. The GI tag for the drink came 14 years after the ginger of the adjoining Karbi Anglong district received its geographical indication.
Manipur saw two of its indigenous products get the GI tag. These were the Tamenglong orange and Hathei chilli grown in the hills.
