Description

Fried Rice is often sweet and sour and you should match the sauce and spices. Off dry wines will help you fight the heat of hot chilli.

If you prefer a red wine, go for a young and fruity, slightly chilled one.

Soy Sauce: go for umami red wines such Carignan and its blends, Merlot, Southern Rhône, Cannonau, Aglianico and Gaglioppo.

Sichuan Spice: bold, off dry Rosé.

Chinese Five Spice: plummy Pinot Noir.

Hot chilli: off dry whites or go for round tannins in bold reds such Australian Shiraz, Amarone and New World Cabernet.
