At Cutt & Grill, few things capture the essence of indulgence like a sizzling steak paired with a glass of wine. This timeless duo isn’t just about flavor it’s about balance, tradition, and even a little science. Here are some fun facts that make the pairing so special.

Why Red Wine Loves Steak

Red wines are naturally high in tannins, which interact with the proteins and fats in steak. This softens the intensity of the meat while highlighting its juiciness. Each bite feels richer, and every sip becomes smoother the kind of harmony that makes the pairing unforgettable.

A glass of red completes the dining experience.

The tradition of pairing wine with red meat dates back to ancient times. In Rome, wealthy families often enjoyed meat with amphorae of wine, believing the combination enhanced strength and spirit. Today, the tradition has evolved into a celebrated dining practice worldwide.

While red wine is the classic choice, creative pairings are gaining popularity. Sparkling wines or even bold rosés can elevate certain cuts and sides, offering a refreshing twist to the dining experience.

At Cutt & Grill, every steak is crafted with care, and the right wine turns it into something truly exceptional. Because some pairings aren’t just delicious they’re meant to be.
