Wine for Spicy Curry
Heat and spice call for off-dry, aromatic wines that cool the palate and match the exotic aromas.
The principle
A touch of sweetness tames chilli heat; aromatic intensity meets spice.
What to reach for
- Off-dry Riesling
- Gewürztraminer
- Aromatic white
Avoid: High-alcohol, heavily tannic reds that can amplify heat.
Why it works
- Residual sugar cools chilli heat.
- Lush aromatics hold their own against complex spice.
