Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Sparkling Wine, Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner

Pinot Noir, Sparkling Wine, and Pinot Grigio are great choices for Tilapia. 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. The Cupcake Vineyards Pinot Noir with a 4.2 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 17 dollars per bottle.
