Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Tempranillo

Pinot Noir and Tempranillo are great choices for Veggie Burger. Since veggie burgers are usually lean, you'll want low to medium tannin wines. Pinot noir is a great choice. Another option is Spanish tempranillo, which pairs nicely with the earthy flavors you might have from beans, lentils, mushrooms, etc. You could try Peter Michael Le Caprice Pinot Noir. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.9 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 259 dollars per bottle.

Peter Michael Le Caprice Pinot Noir

Deep red ruby color and bright crimson tinge is the clear identifierfor Le Caprice. The vineyard shows its signature characteristics ofred forest fruit coupled with aromas of red cherry liqueur, currant,raspberry, strawberry, fresh leather and graphite. The 2010 vintageis refined and expressive with intense concentration in the mouth.The finish lingers both aromatically and subtly on the palate.
