What to drink with satay
Short answer: Off-dry rosé. Runner-up: Zinfandel or a pale ale.
Why it works
Smoky grilled meat and sweet peanut sauce like fruity, slightly sweet wines.
Smoky charred skewers with a sweet, spicy peanut sauce suit fruity, slightly sweet drinks. Avoid tannic reds, which clash with the peanut sauce.
Quick picks
