Sweet and Sour Pork
Sweet and sour pork is battered and fried, then coated in a bright, sugary, vinegared sauce with pineapple and peppers, so the sauce is the whole challenge: the wine must be at least as sweet as it is, or it will taste sour, and high enough in acid to cut the fried batter. An off-dry to medium aromatic white is the answer. Avoid dry wines.
