Trivia
[Hardcore] As the name 'Art Collection' implies, a stylish series with Indian modern art drawn on etiquette (label). In the eternal debate 'Red or white wine for Indian cuisine?', local sommeliers declare 'If lost, Rose (especially Shiraz variety rose)', specializing in compatibility with spice dishes. Since tannins (astringency) are low, it doesn't amplify chili heat, gently wrapping it—a versatile wine.
