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. The Elena Walch Kastelaz Gewurztraminer with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 38 dollars per bottle.

Elena Walch Kastelaz Gewurztraminer
Gewürztraminer "Kastelaz" is a ripe, lush golden yellow color. Its bouquet is intensive, captivating and very complex with aromas of roses and litchis as well as dried fruits, with spicy notes of cinnamon and cloves and a touch of honey in the background. The wine is just as convincing and complex in the mouth: round and full, compact and creamy with harmonious freshness and structure as well as an aromatic finish. A wine with finesse and character.
