...bring out the flavour/strength in alcoholic drinks?

I just had a cheese sandwich then opened a bottle of 1664 and it tastes a lot stronger immediately after this cheese eating than it normally does.

Is this why cheese and wine are associated?

I like cheese and port thats very nice

cheese is great i got a few selections in the fridge inc stilson, loving it with beer and crackers

Can't imagine having a wrench on crackers with a beer being too great...

Cheese cleans your pallete so you can taste more subtle flavours. Hence your beer tastes better.

basically... YES! it does!

I read this in either Focus or New Scientist (probably Focus) a couple of months ago...

this is why cheese and wine occurs, there is a particular chemical in the cheese - it's maybe even just the aroma of cheese that works to enhance flavours in wine ... i guess maybe beer too?

basically.. YES!

Bought a cheese selection from M&S to eat over the festive period: Brie, Stilton, Cornish Cheddar, Wensyldale & Cranberry and St. Paulin. Just had a few slices now with some cheese biscuits, had a drink and my tastebuds exploded.

Edam is the god of cheeses, however applewood smoked is a close second in my eyes.

At first glance I thought the thread title was 'Doves cheese' and I got quite excited.
