Hosting the Ultimate Wine and Cheese Night with Threshers

Few pairings are as timeless, or as effortlessly indulgent, as wine and cheese.

Whether you’re planning an evening with friends or a cosy night in for two, a wine and cheese night is a simple yet sophisticated way to entertain.

At Threshers, we always say that the best nights start with great wine. Here’s how to create a memorable spread that pairs beautifully with every pour.

Start with a Balanced Cheese Board

Variety is key. Aim for a mix of textures and flavours:

  • Soft cheeses like Brie or Camembert

  • Hard cheeses such as Cheddar or Comté

  • Blue cheeses for a bold punch

  • Goat’s cheese for something tangy and light

Add crackers, chutneys, fresh fruit, and nuts to complete the board, and don’t forget the serving knives!

Pairing Like a Pro

You don’t need to be a sommelier to nail your pairings, just follow these classic combos:

White Wine & Soft Cheese

A zesty Sauvignon Blanc or a smooth Chardonnay cuts through the creaminess of soft cheeses beautifully. These wines also work well with tangy goat’s cheese.

Browse our white wine collection for your perfect match.

Red Wine & Hard Cheese

Full-bodied reds like Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot are a natural pairing with mature cheddars or aged Gouda. The structure and depth of these wines hold up well against bold, nutty flavours.

Explore our red wine collection for rich, satisfying options.

Sparkling Wine & Brie

The crisp acidity and fine bubbles of a sparkling wine cleanse the palate between bites of creamy cheeses like Brie. It’s a match that feels luxurious but is deceptively simple.

Celebrate with something from our sparkling wine collection.

Blue Cheese & Sweet Notes

For the brave and bold, blue cheese and sweet wines are a match made in heaven. Try a dessert wine or fruity rosé to offset the intensity of the cheese with just the right amount of sweetness.

Final Tips

  • Take cheeses out of the fridge 30–60 minutes before serving for the best flavour and texture.

  • Chill your whites and sparklings beforehand, but serve reds slightly below room temperature.

  • Have a few bottles on hand to suit different preferences and keep the night flowing.
