Firstly, wine pairing isn’t a rocket science. It is just matching and pairing the wine with food dishes to enhance the dining experience. Sometimes, you don’t have to follow any sort of rules. Local cuisines can simply be paired up with the best wines.

  1. Keep food and wine at a similar weight
  2. Balance the acidity level
  3. Softer bitter tannins with richer, heavier food
  4. Make sure that the wine served is as sweet as the food being served
  5. Pair up spicy wine with spicy foods

Wine Pairing With Indian Food

1. Sula Reisling With Green Sauce Indian Food

The majority of these green sauce dishes are made with leafy greens that are slow-cooked with creams, onions, spices to create a rich herbaceous sauce. Any wine that has a lean green profile will go well with this Indian cuisine. Sula Reisling, sparkling wine, and Sauvignon Blanc are recommended.

2. Sula Seco Rose With Red Curries

Red Indian curries are rich, tomato-filled goodness can work wonders when paired with wines. Since these red curries are spicy, you will need to avoid dryness and acidity in the wine. Well, what can be the best sweet wine than Sula Seco Rose? Probably none!

3. Cabernet Sauvignon With Tandoori Chicken

Tandoori Chicken is one of the luscious Indian cuisines which anyone would love to indulge. It is incredibly smoky and almost tastes beefy by comparison. So, anything red would fit in well. Recommended wine to pair up with this hot Indian cuisine is The Source Cabernet Sauvignon.

5. Zinfandel With Breads and Chutney

Most bread and chutney platters in Indian cuisines will have a wide variety of flavors that range from spicy to acidic. To balance it out, you will need a rose wine or a white wine. Well, most of them prefer Zinfandel Rose for pairing with Bread and so do we.
