Wine enthusiasts are always worried about paring the best wine possible with every meal they serve. Getting the wrong combination of food and wine can leave a bad taste in the mouth of each dinner making it important to consider the makeup of the wine along with the meal being served.
But Canadian beef producers are taking the idea of paring one step further, or sooner, depending on how you look at it. These cattle ranchers are giving their beef red wine along with their feed. While humans may do this to get the health benefits from the grapes, these ranchers are trying to improve their product before it heads to market.
The beef that has been fed red wine is said to have finer fat marbling and the fat is sweeter than cattle raised with feed alone. While some are concerned with the overall safety of the animals research is showing that a little red wine during the short duration it is being offered is not causing any harm.
For wine enthusiasts this product will be hitting the Canadian market soon, making these premium steaks the ultimate compliment to a fine wine for those needing personalized wine gifts for the steak lover. Time will tell just how successful this will be and if the practice spreads to other countries.
