Jane MacQuitty pairs Plaimont's Vin de Pays des Cotes de Gascogne with exotic Diwali recipes.

"Wine has to take a back seat with these Diwali recipes, whose exotic, pungent spices rule. Kick off with a zesty, fruity white: the lime peel-scented Vin de Pays des Cotes de Gascogne (Sainsbury's, £3.79), whose vibrant acidity stands up to the rice cakes and salsa."
