A shrimp cocktail is best paired with a sparkling white wine. Avoid full-bodied white wines with wood aging. Keep it light and fresh.
A wine from the Muscadet grape from the French Loire is a great choice. Picpoul de Pinet, a dry Riesling or a tight Sauvignon Blanc also go well with a shrimp cocktail. Think of the wine as the drop of lemon you sprinkle over your shrimp cocktail: it is fresh with fine acids.
