Recommended wine: Chenin Blanc, Gewurztraminer, Riesling

Asian on the menu? Try pairing with Chenin Blanc, Gewurztraminer, 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. You could try Quintan Essentia Chenin Blanc. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 35 dollars per bottle.
