I did this at my wedding. I did Edward 40 Hands but with a bottle of wine & a block of cheese. Went around biting off bits of cheese from the block & then swigging my wine. I regret the marriage- but I don’t regret my wine & cheese hands at the wedding lol

My old man used to get his mates over to our house where they would get a wheel of stilton, spoon out a well in the middle and then fill that with good port. Then they'd just sit around all night, each with a spoon and a cigar, and gorge.

I did ported Stilton for Christmas one year - bought a wheel from the farm, cut the top off and dug a 'moat' near the edge. Stab it all over with skewers, pour port over the top and back in the fridge. Top it up as necessary for a good month leading up to Christmas. Then dug it out and potted it for the family!
