Why does cheese always accompany wine at cocktail parties?
Cheese is a very typical wine-food pairing, and at many wine parties it is served as the main snack. One reason for this is because cheese tends to make a wine taste better. It “smoothes out” the wine and brings out what is best in both the wine and the cheese. There are also so many varieties of cheeses, that there is one that goes well with any type of wine you might try. In most cases a red wine goes well with hard cheese, while white wines go well with softer cheeses, but again this comes down to your own personal tastes and what combinations of flavors you enjoy.
