Asian food is very diverse, but exotic dishes tend to be richly spiced and even quite hot. Light, crisp beverages work particularly well with spicy flavours.

Pasta itself has a neutral flavour, so your choice of beverage will largely be influenced by the other ingredients, such as sauces, fillings and spices. To accompany pasta and pizza, it’s worth choosing a beverage that has the same level of richness as the food.

Game usually has quite a strong taste, which is why game wines are primarily full-bodied reds. A richly flavoured beer is also an ideal partner to strongly flavoured game dishes.

When pairing hot and spicy food with alcoholic beverages, beer is usually the best bet. A fresh, pale and relatively light beer works particularly well. If you opt for wine, you should also choose a light and crisp option to offset the spicy food, or maybe even something a little on the sweet side.
