You know, I've run into an ideological issue that I don't think anyone else on this site is willing to address. It's important and they just don't want to talk about it. Really, it's key to our work as effective socialists rather than just China shills. I think you're the right person to ask.
Beaujolais, especially Cru Beaujolais will pair with just about anything in a pinch.
edit: I have a bit more time to respond here, so I'll augment it with:
Orange wine is a go to for pairing with Chinese stuff (doubt that was the state dept you were referring to). Most of the best orange wine is eastern European, and I promise that the Sino-Soviet split didn't ruin this great gastronomical pair at least.
Champagne also goes with just about anything, especially fried stuff, so maybe it's best for American state lies. You don't need actual champagne, you can get cremant from Burgundy for $10-20 a bottle. Cremant from Alsace is my favorite. Skip prosecco, as it has a lower value at lower price points (there is good prosecco out there, but with the cheap stuff you might as well be drinking PBR). I'd also say skip cava, but some people like the more petrol forward notes (always smells like those rubber sticky hands to me). British sparkling is great mostly thanks to climate change, but it's way too pricey. South Australian, especially Tasmanian sparkling, is some of the best value you can get right now.

oh my god he's both-sidesing the :cia: :agony-limitless:
At least the joke itself is decently funny. :shrug-outta-hecks:

What wine pairs best with state department lies?

Hope this helped you with your ideological issue.

Well I did say that I wasn't assuming that an accusation against China was being made.

forgot about my earlier comment and thought you were calling me a boring white person.
