I am making Thai food tonight and I make it very spicy (no worries we like it!)
I am wondering is there any kind(s) of wines to go with this?
Normally we just have beer but some of our guests do not drink beer and love wine.
Please help!

I'm normally a red wine drinker, but in this case I'd go with a sweet white. The sweetness provides a nice counterpoint to the spicy, no better match! I recommend Caymus Conundrum (called conundrum because they won't tell you what types of wine are blended). That's my fav. Rieslings are also a very good choice. Hogue is one of the sweetest and Bonny Doon Pacific rim Riesling is awesome, albeit a little drier. It is designed specifically for spicy (Asian in particular) food.

I know that this will be too late but I would have recommended a Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough New Zealand for the reason that it has a nice acidity to it which compliments acidic and spicy foods. We have a wine made for us from there which possesses a clean mineral , stonefruit bursts to the mid palate(passion fruit and pineapple like hints with a lemony spiciness complimenting the finish. A very refreshing wine for sure.

Most of the common types (Chard, merlot, CS) will not match well at all. Try a Gewurztraminer. It is a white German style wine, high in sugar, and is about the only thing you will find that will match well with spicy Asian food like Thai.

To be honest beer is far more suited to very spicy food, however try a sweet pudding wine it will counteract the spice
very well, all though if your dish is very hot I would drink a yogurt based drink with the food & save the booze for later

Definitely drink Chardonnay! Me and my boyfriend went to an Indian Restaurant about a week ago and we ordered some spicey foods (rice, lamb & shrimp with fried veggies and bread) and we each had a glass of chardonnay with the meal. It was delicious and went so well together.

the colour of wine isn't desperate by means of the juice of the grape, it is mostly sparkling, yet quite by means of the presence or absence of the grape dermis for the time of fermentation. Grapes with colored juice, case in point alicante bouchet, are time-honored as teinturiers. purple wine is made out of purple (or black) grapes, yet its purple colour is bestowed by means of the floor being left in touch with the juice for the time of fermentation. White wine may be made out of any colour of grape with the aid of fact the floor is separated from the juice for the time of fermentation. A white wine made out of an exceedingly darkish grape could look crimson or 'blush'. Rosé wines are a compromise between reds and whites. a kind of Rosé is termed Blanc de Noir the place the juice of purple grapes are allowed touch with the skins for an exceedingly short while (in lots of situations in elementary terms a pair of hours).

A semi-sweet or semi-dry wine should be good. A white zinfindel falls in this category. Depending on your area and the wines offered, look for a wine type in the medium range. Something along the lines of a blush to white wine, that isn't overly sweet or overly dry should be good.
