Recommended wine: Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, Riesling

Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, and Riesling are great choices for Caribbean. 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. One wine you could try is Alsace Willm Clos Gaensbroennel Gewurztraminer. It has 4.8 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 30 dollars.
