What wine goes with Asian food?

With dishes that are spicy, sweet and sour or full of herbs, such as Thai, Chinese or Indian food, an aromatic white wine with little alcohol and a touch of sweetness works best. Gewürztraminer from Alsace smells of lychee and roses and stands up well to ginger and coriander. A German Riesling Kabinett or Spätlese softens the heat with its residual sugar and stays fresh thanks to its acidity. Chenin Blanc from the Loire, dry or off-dry, also works well. Avoid heavy red wines with a lot of tannin: they make the heat sharper. If you don't drink alcohol, try a sparkling tea.
