It's really not worth it to drink wine with strongly spiced Indian
food, IMHO and experience, although mild things like birianis might
work. Most wines that I can taste while eating a curry would
ordinarily be dreimannerweine :-) I'd stick to beer, lassi or even
ice-water. I have to admit that I recently had an enjoyable Thai meal
where we had two bottles of Sancerre but I am not converted!
