Drink pairing tips
Gewürztramine and shrimp fried rice
When considering what goes best with shrimp fried rice, we recommend a glass of Gewürztramine, it truly complements the dish as it acts as a counterpoint to the flavours of the dish.

Knowing what to pair with stir-fried chicken can be tricky. It’s worth exploring some beer, particularly a glass of Kingfisher. This, dry, beer balances the spicy stir-fried chicken.
