For the Quinoa and Veggie Stir-Fry, a light and refreshing white wine would complement the flavours well. Consider pairing it with a Sauvignon Blanc or a Pinot Grigio. These wines typically have vibrant citrus notes and herbal undertones that can enhance the freshness of the vegetables and the nutty flavour of the quinoa.
