Posted by Monica Shaw on January 8 2024 at 07:14

With media interest in vegan food and vegan-friendly wine at an unprecedented high, you might wonder what sort of wines pair with vegan food best. Is it even OK to drink wine with vegan food? How do I know if my wine is vegan? And how do I craft plant-based wine pairings as good as their carnivorous counterparts? So here's the lowdown.

Wine and Appetizer Pairings: a quick guide

The best wine to pair with appetizers and hors d’oeuvres largely depends on whether they precede a meal, as is traditional, or - as is more common these days - actually make up the meal itself, says regular contributor Monica Shaw. After all, we all seem to enjoy grazing these days.

My Christmas cookbook gift guide is out, written as usual from the perspective of which book will suit which family member not which books are the best of the year. Though there are many of my own favourites there. A LOT of plant-based books this year which I always find a bit of a mystery given only around 11% of the population is veggie and a smaller percentage still vegan. Only @timhayward’s admirable Steak is dedicated - daringly - to meat. Link in bio. Links in the roundup are to @bookshop_org_uk not Amazon which benefits local bookshops although you could always pop into your local and get them to order in at least one of the ones you want, couldn’t you? 😉 . . . #cookbook #booklovers #bookshopThe old and new faces of the @guardian wine column. So pleased and proud to see this very talented young writer taking over. Go @hannahcrosb! . . . #hannahcrosbie #wine #winewriter #guardianFirst Christmas pud of the year @thecornerhousecanterbury and a very stylish (and delicious) one it was too. Plus an absolutely exemplary gratin dauphinoise* (served with the gorgeously sticky fall-apart slow roasted lamb shoulder). Thoroughly nice place, short sensible menu, not trying too hard to reinvent the wheel. Hooray. * definitely up there in the top 10 potato dishes @mrvinosaurus . . . #christmaspudding #lamb #gratindauphinoise #thecornerhouse #canterburyFabulously glamourous meal in the @thesavoygrill wine room last night with theatrical plating up of the main course (lamb rack and saddle) by the kitchen team. Accompanied by a superb bottle of @chateaulynchbages 1990 that couldn’t have been a better match. So good to catch up with the lovely @thierrytomasin too. Thanks @clementinecommunications for a very special pre-Christmas treat. . . . #savoygrill #gordongram #roastlamb #bordeaux #pauillac #lynchbages #winedinner #foodandwine #guest Follow on Instagram
