I believe the answer is:

breeze

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'you wind' is the definition.
'breeze' can be an answer for 'wind' (breeze is a kind of wind). I am not sure about the 'you' bit.

'they say soft cheeses' is the wordplay.
'they say' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'soft cheeses' becomes 'bries' (I've seen this in another clue).
'bries' is a homophone of 'BREEZE'.

'give' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for breeze that I've seen before include "picnic" , "The building block is light" , "Minor blow" , "Something very easy to do (colloq.)" , "is this enough to blow out candles?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
