Recommended wine: Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, Riesling

Caribbean works really well with Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, and Riesling. You'll want to opt for wines with a bit of sweetness when dealing with spicy Caribbean dishes. Serve these wines chilled so they're even more refreshing. The Chateau Bianca Gewurztraminer with a 4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 15 dollars per bottle.
