Recommended wine: Gewurztraminer, Chenin Blanc, Riesling

Asian works really well with Gewurztraminer, Chenin Blanc, and Riesling. 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 Zind-Humbrecht Calcaire Gewurztraminer. It has 4.9 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 43 dollars.

Zind-Humbrecht Calcaire Gewurztraminer

This wine shows an incredibly refined nose with great aromatic persistence where ancient rose, leather and musky spices combine together. The palate is elegant as well as firm. The residual sweetness does not bring any heaviness; instead, it allows a better integration of the tannic structure.Excellent match for spicy dishes or strong cheeses as well as rich pate or Asian cuisines.
