While steak and wine are often consumed alongside one another, 'Steakwine' was developed by the Ohmybrand agency as a product to emphasize this classic pairing. As such, the labels for the wine varieties are styled like informative articles, offering advice on how to pick and prepare the best kind of meat for each type of wine. The colorful flags on the necks of the bottle specifically call out the alcohol products as ones "for BBQ."
Although virtually any red or white wine can be picked off the shelf of a liquor store and paired with different kinds of meat products, consumers are turning to bottled wine products that are specifically designed for consumption with a specific type of food product, including everything from chocolate to pizza.
