Recommended wine: Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Chenin Blanc

Asian works really well with Riesling, Gewurztraminer, and Chenin Blanc. 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. The Berlucchi Franciacorta '61 Extra Brut with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 34 dollars per bottle.
