The matching wine with onion quiche depends on how the dish tastes, not on a rule of thumb. Onion, brie and the preparation together form a flavour profile you can measure. That is what we do with the Wine DNA: a translation of the dish into flavour axes, after which the algorithm finds matching wine styles. It yields a clear, reasoned choice instead of doubt at the wine rack. See the profile of onion quiche below, the top-scoring wines and concrete serving advice.
