Veracity

I have removed annotations from the article which challlenged the reliability of the cited source (Oxford Companion to Wines), and have moved them here for others to consider the merits of this page remaining on Wikipedia. These comments said: Note: Neither the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry of the Royal Government of Bhutan nor Taltarni can confirm any of the information above. To date, only two grape varietals have been released for use in the country, both table grapes. Two initial site surveys were conducted in May 2017 and August 2018 including collaborative discussions with the Ministry of Agriculture, Agriculture Research and Development Center Bajo Wangdue Phodrang, Bhutan Department of Hydro-Meteorological Services (DHMA), Soil and Plant Analytical Laboratory (SPAL) at National Soil Services Centre (NSSC), Bhutan Agriculture and Food Regulatory Authority (BAFRA) and a host of others. Not a single entity has been able to confirm a single detail from the above mentioned first paragraph. Nick Moyes (talk) 22:54, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Just a comment on the above. The Oxford Companion to Wine is usually a reliable source, although it is of course not infallible, being a printed encyclopedia that covers "everything" in wine. A lack of "official" confirmation in 2017/18 of small experimental plantings in 1990s, does not necessarily mean that the OCW is incorrect. A small experiment that was abandoned may not have been remembered. Tomas e (talk) 20:09, 11 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
