DOESN'T WORK
Zweigelt, Erdenlied
Red, Still
Pairing Idea: Super fruity, light to medium bodied red wine
It just turns bitter. The depth, texture, and heat in the vindaloo are gone, no favor to the dish. The wine upset the balance of the spices, you lose the richness in the middle of the sauce, the heat is still there. The dish turns awkward.
