Farm workers harvest Colombard grapes at the Hua Hin Hills vineyard, located 200 kilometers south of Bangkok, Thailand, in a picture made available on June 7.

In recent years, Thai wines — especially whites — have been racking up accolades at wine fests such as London's International Wine & Spirit Competition and Australia's International Wine Challenge.
