A good steak deserves a good glass of wine. You do not need to be an expert to get it right: a few simple rules help you make the most of the meal.
A red with body
Grilled red meat pairs well with full-bodied reds that stand up to the intensity of the dish.
In Portugal, there are excellent options from the Alentejo and the Douro to go with it.
Balancing the sauce
If the dish has a pepper sauce, a structured red helps balance the heat.
For lighter dishes or fish, a fresh white might make more sense.
Keep it simple
The golden rule is easy: drink what you enjoy and do not be afraid to experiment.
At Pregaria, a glass of wine rounds off a meal of grilled meat nicely.
