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 Engel Wines Riesling - Kosher with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 20 dollars per bottle.

Engel Wines Riesling - Kosher

A lively off-dry Riesling, with accents of green apple, citrus and tropical fruits, complemented by delicate floral aromas, and a crisp acidity. Enjoy this wine chilled.
