This article is an instruction sheet for "THOSE WHO ARE INTERESTED IN WINE TASTING". AND I AM ONE OF THEM. This article gives some very amazing tips for wine tasting.
this is actually a lovely article about wine tasting.nowhere does she mention that wine is to be drunk with INDIAN food and for those people who say that wine does not go with INDIAN food...they are just plain ignorant. there are plenty of full bodied south african, australian, spanish and italian wines that go very well with delicately(in indian terms)spiced indian dishes. we at home regularly drink wine with indian foods especially light bengali fish dishes and they taste wonderful. i agree india still isn't a wine drinking country but rediff articles are also read by indians who live abroad like me and i found this aricle very well written.
Come on guys, someone writing about wines which is not that popular in India. Most of our guys are drunkards, just want to gulp it in a wine shop and try to walk back home. This was a real nice article and was amazed by the way the she had written the wine drinking in a beautiful way. I am living in europe and I know how much wine is valued and enjoyed and how they celebrate the wine harvest every winter. That was a beautiful article. I would request the viewers not to criticise if cant appreicate.
The responses just show that these ppl are plain ignorant about hings like these .. i loved the article and tried it on some of the wines that i tasted later .. it works wonderfully well .. but there's no match for champagne .. any more articles on how to choose the best champagne down the pipeline
I liked your article, but one problem. Why did you specifically give 'she', while mentioning about the person who had no in-depth knowledge about cricket? Do you want to emphasize that all the 'he's are very much knowledgeable about cricket? I don't think gender has nothing to do with the knowledge of a sport. By choosing a deliberate 'she', you are categorizing (spoiling) a wonderful example. A dangerous tendency!
Such articles are all Kaka. India is not a wine place. Our food does not pair with wine nor does our climate. This is all a big push by ad savvy wine producers to part the gullible Indian from his/her money. All the guff about colour, palate etc is fine in a balmy climate like Europe, or even South Africa in winter. Food with simple flavours pairs well with wine but a good vindaloo or a robust biryani is best had with water, fruit juice or at a pinch with beer.
Our climate is also more suited to a long tall glass of beer rather than a glass of wine. I have also realised that many ëxperts" who write about wine or are self confessed wine afficianados quaff it if it is free. Very few of them pay big bucks for the stuff they praise.
Many moons ago an article by a savvy gourmet indicated that the best accompaniment to Indian food if Belgian beer. A leading Ad guru is known to drink Stella as a favoured brew.
