Today I am going to answer one of the oldest questions of the world – which wine matches with a beautiful piece of meat?! I have little T Bone Steak here and I consulted the wine app Vivino for the best wine matches with Beef. I got a pretty big variety of suggestions, and I am going to taste test which ones match best. Sounds like a tough job but somebody gotta do it. Before we get into the session I just want to thank all of you for your subscribers, likes, and comments – they are greatly appreciated and are very motivating. But now let’s talk about the basics behind food and wine matching. The first thing you need to understand is that, while there are some dos and some don’ts, the only thing that really matters is whether you are having a good time with the match. I do pick wines for dinner because I want to drink that wine and if the food is not a perfect match then that’s fine too – I still have a very nice wine and a very nice meal in front of me. That said: A great match improves the taste of the wine AND the food and in order to find a great match you need to follow some simple rules and we will go through them in this video.

The most important rule is that the wine should give the food something that the food needs and vice versa: A piece of meat might be delicious, but it does not taste acidic or bitter and great red wine will add these dimensions to your sensory experience. I am therefore not looking for similarities between the wine and the food but rather for opposites that attract. I went on Vivino because many of you use the app and looked for recommendations with beef. I looked for wines that are still affordable and that are available internationally so that you can get them if you want to.
