Wine and cheese go so well together that they’re almost a couple and scientists have boiled this down to the balanced “mouthfeel” between the tannins in wine and the fat in cheese.

Scientists have also established that cheese is a major source of calcium and essential nutrients, including protein, iodine, and Vitamin B12. In addition, the saturated fats found in cheese seem to reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes and aid the effective processing of vital nutritional elements.

Meanwhile, the list of benefits attributed to wine is even more impressive. Already well known as hearthealthy, wine in moderation might also help you lose weight, reduce forgetfulness, boost your immunity, and help prevent bone loss.
