Women is to wine as cheese is to man

Yes its another metaphor. This one brought about due to the recent onslaught of breakups around me. It seems to be a seasonal thing, I wonder if anybody has done a study into when couples are most likely to break up??

This metaphor might seem to be quite complicated but bear with me. I'm sure you will see where I am coming from by the end of it and maybe pass it on to someone seeking your help in breakup-itist. Hopefully it will give them a bit of a much needed laugh when all they have is questions as to "why the breakup?"

Assume Women are Wine and Men are cheese and there is a heterosexual relationship

Ok, so first thing to note is there are many varieties and qualities of wine and cheese, I won't try to be an expert in either so please please PLEASE purists let me get away with my generalisations just this once.

Also assume that variety and quality is not fixed, eg. if you see someone being a Merlot in one relationship it does not at all suggest that they wont be a cask wine the next.

Starting to see where this is going?

Now if you haven't already guessed, this metaphor is actually about compatibility

Here are the facts,

Merlot will go very well with a Brie.. but a cheese single? Hmmm NO!

Now what are the differences of cheese or wine personalities?

Cask wines are popular, convenient and reliable. However it is very unlikely you are going to take them to your parents

Merlot's they can require a very refined taste, but be careful when they spill they stain badly and the effects on a single spillage can remain for years!

Chardonnays they are also popular. They are sweet and you can safetly take them to your parents. They are way to easy to drink, but be aware your parents may like the chardonnay more than you do

As for the cheeses

The sandwich single, to be honest in my opinion if there is a trait of the sandwich single it is that it has no business being mixed with wine at all.

Blue vein is much like the Merlot. Its mature, tasty and can melt in your mouth, however its not for everybody.

Brie is smooth and popular and everybody wants a bit. Which happens to be its biggest problem, sometimes there is none left!

Now from that I can see in my past where I have been a Brie and then rapidly plummeted to a Sandwich Single and the become a Blue vein, its all relative to what is going on in your life and what your choosing to pair up with. It will determine the taste that is left if you mouth.
