help for a novice to buy some reasonable wines

Hi! Welcome to the wineboard!

From your post I am unsure if you eat traditional Indian food with curry and spices, if you eat more Western dishes or somewhere in between.

With the curry and spicy dishes many high alcohol will just accentuate the heat in the dish which isn't good.

I would try a Riesling from Germany (kabinett wine) for white or possibly a Pinot Noir or Beaujolais from France for Red.

If you are eating more Western style food then the sky is the limit.

If you are new to wine and want to start drinking it I still would start with the whites (Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay) before going into reds. If you want to start with reds then we are back to the Pinot Noir, Beaujolais, Lambrusco wines.

I'm sure others will have opinions as well.
