Default Never to be drunk w/food

Who it it that dictates how wine is supposed to be drunk?

Side-stepping that question for a while, I think I would probably prefer
to drink a great Sauternes (OK, I mean Yquem) by itself.

Also, in Italian there is a concept "vino da meditazione", which I
believe is basically a wine to be enjoyed slowly by itself, usually a
sweet wine - a passito or recioto.
