The Perfect Wine For Your Curry

We've been celebrating one of the UK's favourite cuisines this week - curry! National Curry Week ran from 4th to 10th October and although we may have a habit of grabbing a beer to match with curry, there are many wines that make the perfect partner too. With more wine producers from South and South East Asia bringing their own interpretations to the fore too, it's never been a better time to enjoy wine with your curry.

Read on to explore traditional winemaking, native grapes, and unique appellations in the true birthplace of wine.
