Recommended wine: Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Rose Wine

Hot Dogs works really well with Riesling, Gewurztraminer, and rosé Wine. A Gewürztraminer will be great with your basic New York style hot dog with mustard and sauerkraut. For a Chicago-style dog with sour pickles and hot peppers, you might opt for a crisp Riesling. No matter your toppings, a dry rosé almost always works. The King Frosch Riesling Auslese All Natural German with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 19 dollars per bottle.
