Recommended wine: Gruener Veltliner, Riesling, Sparkling Rose

Gruener Veltliner, Riesling, and Sparkling rosé are my top picks 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. You could try Nigl Freiheit Gruner Veltliner. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.7 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 18 dollars per bottle.

#48 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2018Charming nose, aromas of yellow apples, fine fruity character, slightly viscous, vivid and nicely integrated acidity, goes down well, piquant and spicy mineral tones in the finish.
