Hakkasan Mumbai Wine Harmony: The Tuesday Tasting Every week, Hakkasan s wine team conducts a dedicated tasting session, trying out new wines with at least four different dishes from the menu: If a wine does not work with one dish even if it is great with the others - it does not make the list. All our wines are continually tasted as the vintages change, to ensure that they complement our cuisine.
