To want to drink wine instead of beer

[QueenOfMyWorld]

Myself and dh are going for a curry soon and we want to drink wine with it instead if the usual beer. We prefer red but open to drinking white.
Varied opinions on YouTube,Riesling seems popular.Help please TIA

Any wine connoisseurs out there?

I hate beer so always drink white wine with curry. Pinot or Sauvignon.

Try a Pinot Grigio - universally appealing. Riesling nice though. Have fun!

I love sauvignon blanc does the dryness work well with spice?

Very unlikely to be available in your local Indian restaurant but highly recommend a Gruner Veltliner

Since when do people drink beer with curry? It depends on the curry. For instance a tomatoes based curry would be better with red while coconut milk based would be better with white. As a general rule of thumb I would go for red wine if you are eating Indian and white for Thai.

sauvignon blanc

Pinot noir for red, never tried white with curry so no advice there!

Drink what you enjoy. I know the foodie rule is to avoid wine with curry but if that’s what you prefer go for it. I doubt your local curry house will be serving fine vintages that will be ruined by being drunk with spicy food.

Thanks everyone.Its a bring your own alcohol restaurant so doing my homework before I buy.Everyone I know drinks beer with curry

I like a rose with curry.

I drink red and white but would go for white with a curry. More refreshing. You won't get a whole lot of choice in an Indian restaurant so might have to settle for a sauvignon blanc

Sorry just seen bring your own. Vinho verde or a white rioja woild be nice.

Gewurtztraminer is the classic pairing of a white wine that goes well with spicy food.

And in case you don't believe me:

I hate beer. I always drink wine with curry.

Hundred is that a sweet wine?

QueenOfMyWorld it can be anything from sweet to dry depending on the winemaker. I prefer dry myself. It's known for being quite aromatic (hence it works so well with curry). One of the wine writers at Decanter once wrote that it "tastes and smells like a tart's boudoir".

I normally drink beer with curry as I generally find the wine choices in curry houses are a bit rubbish but I recently had rose... it went really well!

I was also going to say guwutztraminer!

Gewürztraminer is dry but always reminds me of elderflower wine

Hundred Tarts boudoir? 😁
