Main street of Tbilisi (capital of Georgia) is named by George W. Bush. I'm not sure if he is Georgian or was just born there? That study was made for american market. Only. No sane European would ever 'pair' wine with cheese for extra taste. We use it for eliminating taste of previous wine during wine tastings.

No, you're wrong, (red) wine and cheese are paired all the time, and eliminating taste is done with bread if at all. I'm a sane Frenchman, by the way, and an important street of my city is named after President Hoover. Not sure if this has anything to do with the wine and cheese however.

  Portuguese here, red wine + some cheeses is also common here. Not very strong, smelly cheeses, but your typical gouda's and the like (not sure if gouda as I don't remember the english names for the cheeses we use here)

    Yes, it's Gouda in English as well. It's named after a city in the Netherlands.

      Nice thing about cheeses being named after cities/regions they were originally made in is that different languages don't use different names. Bad part is that you gain no information about the cheese itself from the name when this is done.

        I don't know about your language, but in English, the names we use for other countries, cities, and languages are often ridiculously different from what their native residents and speakers call them. (And it's not just English, on further thought. Is there any language whose name for the country that calls itself Deutschland looks anything like "Deutschland"? And why are they all different from each other?)

        Is there any language whose name for the country that calls itself Deutschland looks anything like "Deutschland"? There is: it's called "Duitsland" in Dutch (and no, "Dutch" does not refer to the language spoken in Deutschland ;) However, I'm not aware of any language that refers to Greece by its native name ( Ἑλλάς, "Hellas").
