Recommended wine: Gruener Veltliner, Riesling, Sparkling Rose

Indian on the menu? Try pairing with Gruener Veltliner, Riesling, and Sparkling rosé. 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 Berger Gruner Veltliner (1 Liter) with a 4.7 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 15 dollars per bottle.

Berger Gruner Veltliner (1 Liter)
Berger's Gruner Veltliner is the quintessential Summer sipper! This Austrian white grape variety produces a crisp and mineral-focused wine with hints of citrus, lemon peel, lychee, and a touch of spiciness that may remind you of white pepper. Its refreshingly crisp body works great on a warm Summer day, especially when you're outdoors.
