Wow - that is a controversial question!. . There has been a lot of discussion on various wine discussion sites, and there is no single answer and no consensus at all.. . First of course, India is a huge country with an amazing breadth of cuisine. So your question is a bit like, 'what goes with European food'. There are so many parameters, so many dishes.. . Most people who are asking this question are thinking about hot and spicy foods.. . Everybody has a different perception of chillies. If you are not used to them then you can't taste much, you just want to drink something cold. If you love them and are used to them, then you can also taste other flavours and enjoy wine.. . Some people say that tannins in oaked wine clashes, some people say that a sweeter wine matches better. My friend Warren has set up his own company to sell wine he produced to go with Indian food and has firm ideas on what is required -- see http://www.wineforspice.com/. . Warren says: "The semi-sparkling nature avoids the unpleasant effects of gaseous overload yet retains all the refreshing qualities of a cold beer. Fruitiness and residual sugar in the range rise in relation to the spiciness of the accompanying dish A refreshing wine should also have a good level of mouth-watering acidity but avoid mouth-drying tannin so no red wines for the moment. The wines are also free from oak which clashes with spice giving a bitter harsh after-taste. A good degree of alcohol is required to provide body but excess alcohol can add to the burning sensation of chillies.". . But personally, I prefer to drink red wines and I like a spicy Shiraz or Pinotage. And I find Champagne is also good.. . So my advice is to to make up your own mind. Try your favorite wine and if that doesn't work for you, use what you've learned about wghhat doesn't work for you and proceed from that.. . Enjoy!
