FAILSAFE PAIRINGS

Here’s the tl;dr version for matching wine with Southeast Asian cuisine. For the safest bet, anything sweet and sparkling usually works, with Prosecco and Moscato d’asti both offering affordable options. For white, Vouvray demi-sec is a versatile semi-sweet style made from Chenin Blanc. For red, lightly-chilled Rioja is a good middle-ground option. Otherwise, you can’t go wrong with a cool, crisp beer!
