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 Laurenz V Reserve Charming Gruner Veltliner with a 4.8 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 35 dollars per bottle.
