Recommended wine: Gruener Veltliner, Riesling, Sparkling Rose

Gruener Veltliner, Riesling, and Sparkling rosé are great choices for Indian. The best wine for Indian food will depending on the dish, of course, but these picks can be served chilled and have some sweetness to complement the spiciness and complex flavors of a wide variety of traditional dishes. The Bergh Gruner Veltliner with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 16 dollars per bottle.

Bergh Gruner Veltliner

Light yellow with shimmering green reflexes, fine herbal notes in the nose, green apple and honey melon with a hint of citrus, fresh and inviting on the palate. Juicy like crunchy pome fruit, lively acidity structure, playful pepper with drive. Spicy and mineral.
