Recommended wine: Gewurztraminer, Chenin Blanc, Riesling

Asian works really well with Gewurztraminer, Chenin Blanc, and Riesling. The best wine for Asian food depends on the cuisine and dish - of course - but these acidic whites pair with a number of traditional meals, spicy or not. You could try Hugel Gewurztraminer Jubilee. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 44 dollars per bottle.

Hugel Gewurztraminer Jubilee

Hugel's "Jubilee" are sourced exclusively from family owned Grand Cru vineyards in the top terroirs in Alsace. Great classic Gewurztraminer which will gain in complexity and spiciness for 8 years or more. Its suave and long complex aftertaste will make it the ideal partner to strong cheeses and spicy dishes.
