Beer note: Lager is the white wine of beer--perfect with spicy foods or fish dishes. Pop open a Caribbean Red Stripe Lager ($50 for a six-pack), with its subtle aromas of sweet malt, grain, and fresh hay. It's delicate, yet refreshing against the jalapeo heat. The light, fluffy texture is also a nice contrast to the crunch of the fish. --Jeffery Lindenmuth

Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, Pinot Noir

Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, and Pinot Noir are my top picks for Fish. Fish is as diverse as wine, so it's hard to pick wines that go with every fish. A crisp white wine, such as a pinot grigio or Grüner Veltliner, will suit any delicately flavored white fish. Meaty, strongly flavored fish such as salmon and tuna can even handle a light red wine, such as a pinot noir. You could try Caposaldo Pinot Grigio. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 10 dollars per bottle.
