Seitan is the most versatile vegan plant protein out there\u2014you can make just about anything with it… juicy BBQ steaks, spiced kebab strips, smoky sausages and slices, curry-spiced cutlets… the sky’s the limit with this ingredient. That’s why you can’t just pick any drink for seitan\u2014the final dish chooses its own wine, vegan of course. <\/p>\n\n

We tested several street food seitans and found some real gems! Street food-style seitan dishes feature bold and robust flavors, often not skimping on fat. The wines therefore need to provide a counterbalance with softness, fruitiness, and freshness\u2014and sometimes bubbles too. <\/p>\n\n

Here are the vegan wines that really work with street food-style seitan. Would you like some bubbly, red wine, or maybe white wine? Pick yours! <\/p>\n\n

The juicy and fruity organic white wine Par\u00e9s Balt\u00e0 Savia Viva Familia Xarel-lo is dry, acidic, refreshingly citrusy, green apple-like, lightly white peach-scented, spicy, and subtly herbal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a special touch, its label tells a fun true story about Finland, featuring a familiar tram, for example. The wine producer Par\u00e9s Balt\u00e0’s Joan and Maria Angels Cusin\u00e9 got married in 1971 and bought a camper van, setting off on a two-month honeymoon to Scandinavia. They also arrived in Finland, where they fell in love with the culture, people, and food. Nine months later, their son Joan was born, who currently runs the company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
