Gewurztraminer, Chenin Blanc, and Riesling are my top picks for Asian. 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. One wine you could try is Heinz Eifel Shine Gewurztraminer. It has 4 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 10 dollars.
