Vegan & Vegetarian Wine

Previously it has been assumed that all wine is suitable for vegan and vegetarians, however this is not the case. We therefore want to try and make it as easy as possible for everybody to make choices that suit them. We flag all the wines that are vegan and vegetarian friendly with a wine ring mark. Head to our vegan and vegetarian page to learn more.

As a rule of thumb red wines go with red meats and white wines go with white meats. These days, with the greater interest in creative cooking, we can look beyond this rule. Generally white meats have a relatively neutral flavour so you must consider the base ingredients of the dish. Read more

Red meats lend themselved to fuller and richer red wines. Beef and lamb in particular are best with structure firmer reds such as Clarets, Rioja, Aussie Shiraz and wines from the north of Italy. Read more

Dry whites wines are often the best bet with simply cooked fish. Do do not rule out reds either. When you start including other ingredients such as tomatoes or creamy sauces, look to go with fuller white wines. Finally, consider the intensity of the cooking method as this also will play are part in your choice. Read more

Just like other dishes, the vegetables in your dish will affect your choice of wine. Read more

Dessert wines are often overlooked at the end of the dinner, yet getting this wine right can make the dessert course sublime. As a rule of thumb try to choose a wine that is sweeter than the dessert. Intensley flavoured desserts can be complemented with powerful, fortified wines and liqueurs. Read more

Cheese and wine, when matched correctly, is a wonderful combination. But its not easy to get right. With the huge combination of cheeses based around different textures and flavours mean that almost any still or fortified wine will match. Read more

When matching your wine with your starter, remember the serving order. Try to start with your white wine before your reds and to server the lighter wines before your heavier ones. One important rule you should not forget is that should your starter require a big red wine try to avoid serving a light white with the main course. Perhaps you could continue with this wine or a similar style, through the rest of the dinner. Read more
