Phillip,

We are not in disagreement. I fully understand that wine (and possibly olive
oil) would have been as exotic in India as myrrh or pepper was in Rome. I
did not mean to dismiss it as an item of trade.  The only thing I was trying
to add as the observation that because of climate differences wine _must_
have remained exotic in the "east" over time.  Unlike some other possible
items of exchange from the Mediterranean region to south Arabia or India.
