Indian works really well 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 Brundlmayer Kamptaler Terrassen Gruner Veltliner with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 25 dollars per bottle.
