Drink These Reds On a Hot Summer Night With Steak

While most of the northern hemisphere seems to be sweltering, it is worth considering the argument that red wines aren’t appropriate for hot weather drinking.

The rationale seems commonsense enough: red wines are too heavy and warm when it’s hot and humid; they aren’t all that appealing coupled with the sort of cold foods served in summer; and high alcohol reds are not what you want to be drinking in the broiling sun.
