This is not true, as there are many wines which compliment Indian food!

Name five Indian dishes that go well with wine.

We have somehow adopted the Indian cuisine with wine, of late. That does not mean that wine compliments Indian food. We never had a wine culture.

Madira is very near to wine but more strong and intoxicating. In any case madira was never consumed with food. We Indians drink before eating (usually). If someone is having a drink with the food, it is because he/she is over drinking or has not had time to finish the drink.

On the other hand wines are served and had during the main course (with the exception of Sherry which is an evening drink before dinner and port which is served with walnuts after dinner).

Nope. Madira exists in mythology only.

yeah.. Madira was Raw Liquor.. so it must be Country Liquor.
Madira never had any chemical treatments associated to it.
