As a lover of vegetarian food, I find plant-based wine pairings can often be overlooked. Most research will give you all the meat and seafood pairing ideas you could ever want (which isn’t a bad thing!), but vegetarian are few and far between.
Truth is, many of the same guidelines apply, just in different context. Fat, acidity, body, sweetness, tartness, and flavor all play a crucial role in pairing vegetarian food with wine. When deciding on what wines you’ll serve, you’ll want to choose those that highlight the true flavors of vegetables, pasta, and grains, rather than overpower them.

Warm, salty, sweet, and a little bit funky.
