Taste The Food and Wine of India

To complement a good dinner you often need fantastic wine to go with it. When having a smart slap up meal the waiter would ask you what you would like to drink to which you would answer, “A bottle of your finest Nashik region sauvignon blanc or an original Maharastran Shiraz”. Like any good meal there are some essentials that you need, for example, crystal glasses, an ice bucket to keep the wine cold (if it’s white) and ideally someone to pour it for you. Whilst all of these are most often associated with fine French or Italian cuisine, India are now making a move for the market.
Indian wine is desperately trying to emulate the immense success of the sub-continents beer (Cobra Beer) and food (Curry). However India’s oldest winery only dates back to 1982 so the industry is still really in the early phases. India as a nation are trying to increase their revenue stream as much as possible by broadening their own horizons. Exporting wine as well as beer and food will be a great move for India as a nation as this will un-doubtedly help their relation and profit prospects.
White wine and red wine go well with any meal and normally you would go for a wine that has been brewed and made in France or Italy for example, but Indian wine could change all of that. Sales have grown by a massive 30% to 35% in India every year since as early 2002 and although only 2% of the population drinks wine, that still accounts for a staggering 20 million people. Last year alone the Indian wine market accounted for 1.2 million cases of wine being sold, representing a doubling of domestic consumption in just five years. Compared to global players in the wine industry – America last year produced 270 million cases – India remains a viticultural minnow but now producers believe they have spotted a receptive export the globe and an avenue to make plenty of money.

Things you ought to know about wine
Subscribe To Our Feed
“Pale plonk packs an acidic punch!” says the BBC, Well, it does and it doesn’t. It also depends on the types of wine grapes as to how acidic the wine is and how long the wine is held in the mouth, as to how much damage is done. Normal wine drinkers swallow wine straight away, thus the teeth don;t sit in the wine. Wine tasters are at risk as they hold wine in their mouths much longer whilst sampling. Loads of noise on twitter for the story on http://twitter.com/winewarecouk and twitter.com/thirstforwine.
So what does White wine actually do to teeth?
It should be pointed out that the erosion of teeth by wine is the result of extensive wine use that would also lead to damaged liver and all sorts of other problems. The typical wine drinker who sips a glass of wine at dinner or with their evening meal should not be ‘scared off’ by the tooth decay headlines, remember 100 year old women in Italy swear that wine was the secret of their longevity.
White wine stains teeth:
I think that anyone who has drank a few glasses of Red would agree that, yes, it does. Have you though how this is? “Red wine, unlike white, contains a highly-pigmented substance known as chromogen,” explained Dr. Wolff of the New York University College of Dentistry, they goes on to explain that “The acids in wine create rough spots and grooves that enable chemicals in other beverages that cause staining, such as coffee and tea, to penetrate deeper into the tooth”.
As you can see Dr Wolff mentioned wine and not a specific colour of wine, all wine can damage your teeth.
Stop wine erosion on teeth?
1) Alkaline mouthwashes are highly recommended
2) Proper brushing of your teeth with a soft tooth brush is encouraged.
3) Drink should be enjoyed with food, this can be any type of food but this helps start the mouths mineralisation.
4) To help minerals return to the molecular structure of the tooth after eating, leave around 30 mins before brushing.
5) Cheese can also help as it contains calcium in a high concentration
I hope this is helped a little towards taking away the fear factor of White wine.
Feel like i want to go brush my teeth now
