For a red wine lover, it is one of few must-have items. However, not all types will add to the experience. If you are looking forward to having it with any red wine, go for semi-firm to firm aged hard cheese. Other options you can consider are Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Zinfandel, Tempranillo, and Sangiovese. Some red wines also pair well with the Cheddar and Gouda.
