The flavour of a dish is automatically enhanced if it is paired with the right kind of beverage. Wines are considered a decadent beverage that automatically amplifies the taste of anything that it is paired with. But to enjoy the flavour of wine the most, it is important to pair it with the right kind of food that flatters its flavours and undertones. The key to enjoying food and wine to its fullest potential is to strike a balance between the flavours of both these things. Not only should your libation and food taste delicious on their own, but these two should also form a harmonious blend of flavours together. Let's have a look at some Indian dishes that astonishingly taste even better when paired with wine.
