<p>Pairing rules are not set in stone, but there are a few friendly guidline to follow.</p>

<blockquote>
  <p><strong>Match Wine Flavors With Food Flavors</strong></p>
  
  <p>Specific body and color types and their flavors are also elements to consider when you are pairing vegan foods and wine. For example, when choosing white wine, a light-bodied flavor, such as Vermentino, Pinot Grigio and Viognier all go well with pasta dishes, salads and stir-fry vegetables because they will not overpower the modest flavor of these foods. If you are barbecuing veggie burgers or preparing baked potatoes on the grill, consider choosing a classic white Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc or Riesling, which make a fine complement to the taste of grilled foods. </p>

I don’t think there is a single answer. It depends on the dish. Have you tried searching on wine pairings?
