Heat & Harmony: The Best Wines for Spicy Food

Spicy dishes can make wine pairing tricky. The key is to choose wines that refresh the palate and balance the heat without intensifying the spice. The best wines to do so are aromatic, slightly sweet, or high in acidity.
For creamy Indian curries, a Gewürztraminer is a fantastic match. Its floral aromas and natural sweetness soften the spice, bringing out the dish’s rich texture without overpowering it.
If you prefer something drier, a crisp white or an aromatic rosé works wonders with spicy Thai stir-fries. Their fresh acidity and vibrant fruit notes contrast the heat, making every bite feel lighter and more balanced.
From fiery Szechuan noodles to smoky Mexican tacos, there’s a wine that can handle the spice. Explore our selection of spicy food wines and find your perfect pairing.
