I've had more occasion to drink Indian wines than I'd like, and usually limited in choice. Based on this, my views: - The wines that are sold in India usually spend a very long time on shelves. The chances of finding a vinegary bottle is extremely high. - Anecdotally, Fratelli, Grover and Indage wines are uniformly horrible, with failings across the board. Acidity, taste notes, legs, bouquet, body, you name it. Reds are worse than whites. Whites taste like they were fermented for ten minutes. - The York Reserve and Sula's Heritage wines are pretty decent. The reds go well with Indian food, without necessarily tasting like dessert wines. I'd avoid the rest.
