On a muggy summer's day, the imagery of putting our feet up with a glass of chilled wine to bring heat and anxiety levels down, would top of our wishlist. We invited two sommeliers to tell us what they prefer to sip on in summer, and share tips to make smart chioices with food too.

“It would be ‘Oh so nice’ if the solution to getting hot in Mumbai were like the lyrics to the song by Nelly. However, till we get past our prudishness there are a few ways to cool off during the hot summer months. None of us are drinking Chardonnays or Merlots in this May heat with the temperature solely in control of the weather gods,” says Nikhil Agarwal, sommelier and founder of All Things Nice.
