Wine Education
Wine Education for the South Asian Palate
Wine education should not begin with memorizing European regions.
For South Asian consumers, wine education should begin with the food they already understand.
At Tikka Wines, our education programs will teach wine through familiar reference points:
- Why sweetness helps with spice
- Why heavy tannins can clash with chili
- Why rosé is so useful with mixed Indian meals
- Why aromatic whites work with masala
- Why dessert wines pair beautifully with mithai
- How to serve wine at Indian dinner parties
- How to pair wine with vegetarian food
- How to select wines for weddings and celebrations
