I'm to provide the wine for Xmas dinner - Dunginess crab.
Viognier, Chard, Riesling, or?
For myself, a sweetish wheat beer.

A good Australian dry Riesling would be best, IMHO. Try Grosset's Polish Hill Riesling... an excellent choice. The European dry Rieslings are apt to be a bit to overpowering for your crab.

Try oh no, why do we have to have crab again this year? I sick of crab, I'd much rather have ham or even turkey instead. Anything but crab!

The viognier wouldn't be bad at all but, as Sailor points out, a dry Riesling would be lovely. Avoid the sweeter German or American ones: there's nothing wrong them by any means and I'm quite fond of American Rieslings, but you want something to contrast with and support the sweetness of the crab.
