Spoonacular is a recipe search engine that sources recipes from across the web.

Always read ingredient lists from the original source (follow the link from the "Instructions" field) in case an ingredient has been incorrectly extracted from the original source or has been labeled incorrectly in any way. Moreover, it is important that you always read the labels on every product you buy to see if the product could cause an allergic reaction or if it conflicts with your personal or religious beliefs. If you are still not sure after reading the label, contact the manufacturer.

Sparkling Wine and Sparkling rosé are my top picks for Lettuce Wrap. If you're serving a selection of appetizers, you can't go wrong with these. Both are very food friendly and complement a variety of flavors. The NV Armon with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 16 dollars per bottle.

NV Armon

It is a very refreshing drink, with full berry type aromatic flavor. There are hints of dark raisins of the nose with appealing fresh Strawberry. Best served cold with ice cubes, as a dessert to any meal.
