Cheese and wine are a very common combination, though different countries have different ways of eating it. For example, in Britain a cheeseboard would follow dessert and the wine served would be a sweet one like Port. In France, the cheeseboard is consumed before dessert, with a red wine. In each case, there would be a number of different cheeses used, normally of contrasting types, together with other accompaniments such as crackers, grapes and nuts.
Cheese and wine don’t have to be served as part of a meal, though. They are often served together, with the cheese and wine being the sole things served, together with the aforementioned accompaniments. Such a serving is more likely to happen at a social occasion.
