| Hi Gerhard I am with Jochen. An Austrian off-dry or even mildly sweet (1.5~2.5% r.s) with good acidity white will be great. I believe, there is no one style that suits all occasions and pleases the palate unendingly. Too much of either style is boring. As for me, for relaxation, I prefer a dry. For one to go with our explosively spicy cuisines, an off-dry, refreshing, not-too-high alc., fruity white will be a great gastronomic pleasure. Conversely, a bone-dry, full-bodied and heavily wooded white will make your mouth go BAND!. Just a point of view.
