A part of me thinks that the use of magic could lead to a certain amount of impatience with things that take nurturing. Somehow I expect wine and cheese to be better in Muggle form. Medicine is way better in the Wizarding world. We never saw much of the Wizarding entertainment world, but based on Celestina Warbeck and the Weird Sisters, I'm going to give the Muggles another win when it comes to music! I wouldn't be surprised to discover some great authors and playwrights were wizards and witches, but I think the Muggles would have the edge in Theatre. The goblins excel in silverwork and probably jewelry. Wizards can grow anything Muggles can and then some, so they win at gardening. Cooking and baking is probably a toss up. Wizards may have the edge in speeding things up, but Muggles look at food as an artform. Then again, there might be a tendency to depend on the house-elves for food and there may not be much change in Wizarding food. As for candy and chocolate, I'm giving that to Honeydukes, hands down!
