Beer, Lager, Wine or Water?

[Domi]

What's your preferred tipple to slurp on with your curries?

For me, it has to be an ice-cold Belgian lager ;D (I've never found a wine that actually compliments a nice curry but I'm willing to struggle on in my tireless search hehehe)

Hi Dominatrixxx,  I do enjoy a curry after a few ice cold lagers, especially if we have gone out to a pub before popping to the BIR. If I am at home I normally have a couple of tinnies while I am cooking. Not much of a wine person myself but each to his/her own.....

    All the best.... ;D

I quite often drink chilled white wine with my curries. Needs to be full-bodied and flavourful, so an Oz Chardonnay is just perfect. Avoid the more "astringent" grape varieties, French Vin du Table is definitely *not* the way to go.

I've yet to find a red which complements a curry, maybe a decent Rioja might do the trick but I'd not waste a good one by trying it.

Like the others, I like a good Belgian beer with my curry, I buy a few cases of Leffe and/or Grimbergen when I go to France and keep a dozen bottles in the fridge.

I'm not into red wines so a rioja would be no use to me lol but I do like a slurp of a nice white every now and again (can't beat a good sancerre when the kids have gone to bed ;D )   I'll have a go with an Aussie chard as you suggested Thanks Paul
