Recommended wine: Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Chenin Blanc

Asian works really well with Riesling, Gewurztraminer, and Chenin Blanc. 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. You could try Taittinger Brut La Francaise. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 45 dollars per bottle.

Taittinger Brut La Francaise

This Champagne is a blend of some 30 Chardonnay and Pinot Noir vineyards, respectively 40% and 60% of the total, from several harvests of perfectly ripened grapes.
