Vegan Wine Pairings

The TASTE Restaurant Matches Alternative Meat and Wine

— May 16, 2017 — Lifestyle
Sand Castle Winery's new restaurant, TASTE, will be launching a menu that puts an emphasis on pairing cheese, meat and wine. While this practice is quite common around the world, TASTE plans to set itself apart with an entirely plant-based tasting menu, centered around vegan products from The Herbivorous Butcher.

Since many savory substitutes from The Herbivorous Butcher very realistically emulate real meat, the gourmet menu appeals to meat lovers and reluctant vegetarians with items like Korean BBQ Wraps, Char Grilled Filet and Huli Huli Rib Sliders—all of which are entirely plant-based. The flavorful eats at TASTE are paired with wines from Sand Castle Winery, helping to reshape consumer perspectives on everything from meat and cheese to conventional wine pairings.

With the rise of plant-based diets has created a demand for everything from revised food and drink menus to all-vegan grocery stores and 24-hour vegan drive-thrus.
Trend Themes
1. Plant-based Menus - Opportunity for restaurants to create gourmet plant-based menus that cater to meat lovers and vegetarians alike.
2. Vegan Wine Pairings - Innovation in wine pairing with plant-based dishes, offering consumers new and exciting flavor combinations.
3. Rise of Vegan Drive-thrus - Emergence of 24-hour vegan drive-thrus to meet the growing demand for convenient plant-based food options.
Industry Implications
1. Restaurant Industry - Restaurants can capitalize on the trend by offering plant-based menus and innovative vegan wine pairings to attract a wider range of diners.
2. Wine Industry - Wineries can disrupt the market by collaborating with plant-based restaurants to develop vegan wine pairings that complement the flavors of alternative meat dishes.
3. Fast Food Industry - Fast food chains can seize the opportunity by introducing vegan drive-thrus to provide convenient plant-based food options to time-constrained customers.
