THE PAIRING NOTES

What wine goes with vegetable sushi?

For vegetable sushi, look for a fresh wine that can hold its own beside the dish’s acidity. Preparation and seasoning can change the pairing, even when the main ingredient stays the same.

What to look for in the wine

01

Keep enough acidity in the wine

Tangy ingredients can make a low-acid wine seem flat. Choose a fresh wine for vegetable sushi and check the acidity reading where it is available. Taste your sauce before settling on the bottle.

02

Account for the preparation

The same main ingredient can call for a different wine when its preparation changes. Taste the sauce and seasoning as well as the main ingredient before choosing the bottle.

03

Check the individual wine

Wines from the same grape can differ in body, alcohol and sweetness. Compare those details in the profiles below; a grape name alone cannot establish how a bottle will work with your recipe.
