Growing/Fermenting Wine to Music


A German winemaker has started playing classical music to his fermenting wine claiming that the wine is better because of it. If sound wave frequencies can impact on humans’ health, then why not wine? An interesting concept, but he doesn’t state which variety is the benefactor. Got to wonder if matching up a specific type of music to a specific varietal might make a difference. How about blues with Pinot Noir, pop with Chardonnay, folk with Riesling, jazz with Sauvignon Blanc, rap with Shiraz, rock with Cabernet, opera with Sangiovese, and funk with Merlot? What about a little show music for Gewurzt or big band for Viognier? It would sure be fascinating to find out how the type of music impacts on wines’ character.
