Recommended wine: Riesling, Gruener Veltliner, Sparkling Rose

Riesling, Gruener Veltliner, and Sparkling rosé are my top picks for Curry. 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. One wine you could try is Clean Slate Riesling. It has 4.3 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 13 dollars.

Clean Slate Riesling

Refreshing taste profile with peach aromas, lime notes, livelyacidity and a hint of mineral and spice.Pairs beautifully with Asian dishes, spicy foods, sushi, fish, poultryand pork.
