Muggle vs. Magical -- What if Hogwarts had a club to introduce Muggle things to the students?  What things would Muggles do just as well at or better than the Wizarding World and why?  At what things would the Wizarding World excel?  For example, Muggle vs. Magical cheesemaking?  Chocolates?  Wine-making?  Literature?  Theater?  Entertainment?  Medicine?  Other ideas?

Elf-made wine is canon as Snape offers it to Narcissa and Bellatrix in Spinner's End. Maybe it's just the elves that make wine as the only other reference to wine I recall is the nettle wine in Snape's first year logic puzzle. Though the wizards definitely do other stuff like butterbeer, gillywater, red currant rum, Single Malt Whisky and Ogden's Old Firewhisky.

Hmmm. You have a point about the chocolate. We Muggles do rather obsess over it. I think Honeydukes may be more creative on candy in general, but maybe Muggles should have the edge on chocolate, especially dark chocolate.

I don't know enough about either wine making or chocolate making to really know if there is anything that would favor Muggles or Wizards. I was thinking that the quality of chocolate mostly depends on the quality of cocoa beans.
