World over, for bars and bartenders, World Class is a brand that has a certain cachet. Every year, thousands of bartenders from around the world compete through the course of the year for the right to represent their country in the global finals of this three-day bartending competition. This year this major event was held in Sao Paulo towards the end of September.
Aashi Bhatnagar from Pune’s Cobbler and Crew won the right this year, to represent India. She was one among the 54 bartenders from around the world. “It feels like a fairy tale for me, but yes, dreams do come true,” says Aashi, 26.
