Wine for vegetarian dishes is a type of wine that is ideally paired with dishes such as vegetables, pastas, stews, salads, soups and grain dishes. It is usually a light red or white wine, such as a Pinot Noir, Gamay, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling or Chenin Blanc that can accompany the flavors and aromas of vegetarian dishes. It is important to choose a wine for vegetarian dishes that has a good balance of acidity, sugar and alcohol to maximize the taste of the dishes. Light red wines are particularly popular to accompany spicier vegetarian dishes and dry white wines to accompany lighter vegetarian dishes.
