The best wine and steak pairings

Wine pairs beautifully with steak, elevating both your meat and drink's flavours. The wine brings its acidic tang with a hint of sweetness and blends effortlessly with the salty and fatty butteriness of the steak. It's quite literally a match made in heaven. And, it's perfect when you consider the occasion. Make indulgence your mantra this Father's Day with our quick list of wines to pair with that tender and succulent steak.

• Cabernet
• Shiraz
• Malbec
• Zinfandel
• Dad's favourite red wine

Shopping tip

So, your dad loves his red wine? In that case, a large bowl-shaped glass with a long stem is the glassware to pick for the occasion. The wide surface area of the glass will help release the wine's aromas, ensuring you can enjoy its rich flavours better. Have a look at our stunning range of wine glasses to find the perfect set that complements your drink.
