Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Riesling, Pinot Grigio

Crabmeat can be paired with Chardonnay, Riesling, and Pinot Grigio. Chilled crab tastes great with pinot grigio. Warm crab (especially with butter) can be matched with a buttery Chardonnay or a crisp fruity Riesling. One wine you could try is Cipriani Prosecco. It has 4.9 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 19 dollars.
