What wine goes with dim sum?
Dim sum is a meal of small bites: steamed dumplings with prawns, pork or vegetables, often with soy sauce or chilli oil. Sparkling white wine is the best match. The bubbles clean your palate after the fat of fried bites, and the acidity goes with the soy. A Champagne, Cava or Crémant is a good choice, and so is a dry Riesling Sekt.
