IN TRANSITION
Up-market people drink in a bar during a yearly Vine and Brandy festival in Soweto, Johannesburg, South Africa, 2006. Many of the country’s vine makers came to Soweto to introduce the newly economically empowered people about vine. Traditionally, most people drink beer and whiskey and the vine makers are targeting a new black elite that have money to spend. Soweto is South Africa’s largest township and it was founded about one hundred years to make housing available for black people south west of downtown Johannesburg. The estimated population is between 2-3 million.
