Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Gruener Veltliner, Muscadet, Pinot Grigio, Riesling, Sparkling Wine

Crawfish works really well with Chardonnay, Gruener Veltliner, and Muscadet. Though different seafoods can certainly call for different wines, generally a crisp, light-bodied white wine or a sparkling white wine will do the trick and not drown out any subtle flavors. The GEN5 Chardonnay with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 9 dollars per bottle.
