I know a lot of people would dissaprove at drinking wine with curry and reccomend that I drank Cobra or something similar but I'm not a big lager/beer fan.

This depends on what type of curry you are eating try to pair light colored sauces with white wines stay away from sweet wines as this will contradict the tatse of the curry so no reisling or dessert wines and with a red sauce pair with a red wine again staying away from sweet wines. Don't drink blush wines with curries these are too sweet.

A good, robust rose, definitely. White can be rather subtle, and red is too heavy (as a general rule of thumb). I'd go for an Anjou rose, as the tartness of the wine will contrast nicely with the sweetness of the curry. Personal opinion is that the colder the wine, the better it goes with curry! If you're not into Anjou, a gorgeous pink Sancerre would go well, if you're splashing out. If not, a nice blush, something like the South African Van Louveren goes very nicely.
(As you can probably tell, I enjoy both curries and wine - I was brought up to drink rose with Indian food, and I've not been disappointed yet...)

dont be a stiff, by the time you get to the curry house any wine will do, so heres some drinking rules
Nobody can point their finger. All 'pointing' must be done using the elbow and a bent-back arm
Players must never be referred to by their first names - only by surnames or nicknames
No swearing is allowed
The word 'drink' can not be used as a verb; 'consume' or 'imbibe' are common replacements
The little finger should not rest on the glass/bottle/drinking vessel when it is being drunk from. This is referred to as "No pinky on the drinky"
The right hand should be used to drink if the time is anything between the hour and half past the hour (i.e. the minute hand is on the right side of a watch); the left hand should be used to drink if the time is anything between half past the hour and the hour (i.e. the minute hand is on the left side of a watch)
If you buy a bottle and the seam of the glass runs through the centre of the front label, whoever bottle it is must down the bottle
'Live by the sword; die by the sword' - if you are one of these people who wants to make sure everyone drinks the full quota of their penalties, then make sure you do the same when it comes to your turn!

it will all depend of the strengh of the curry but you can try out champagne or red wines. to choose the red wines it will depend of how spicy your food is the stronger the food the more bodied and heavy the wine. do not drink an Amarone with a rogon josh. the wine will over power the dish. it's all about balance between the flavours of your dish and your drink. after it's all a question of preferences. hope that was help-full. good luck.

Casillero Del Diablo Cabernet Sauvignon is a good choice to have with a curry, if you like red wine.
In fact, I had a bottle last weekend with a lovely aubergine curry I made.
It's about £5.99 from Sainsbury's but sometimes you can get it on special offer from some supermarkets.
Tesco's appear to have an offer on a crate of it at the moment, which looks pretty good value if you're likely to have a lot of curries!

Cobra! It has to be beer with Curry. I could never drink wine with a curry. But hear a sparkling wine is meant to be good!

I find beer to be the best with curry it helps for the burning on the taste buds, you can also try a red Merlot or a Shiraz, some prefer a white Chardonnay or Riesling, there is no specific one to drink with curry it varies from person to person.!!!

dont waste your money on an expensive wine most curries will kill the taste ,go for a cheap house wine colour imaterial,and you will find it probably makes a bad wine taste better.but each to there own.

Hey pal, there is no set rule for anyone who enjoys their wine. We in the trade usually recommend wines but the choice is yours....perhaps any white very well chilled.....
