Music & Wine


Some recent research suggests that music can alter wines’ taste as to how aggressive or soft it comes across depending on the type of music played while sipping it. I’m not sure if the results are conclusive enough, but perhaps what we can conclude is that certain grape varieties and wine styles will probably be enjoyed more with certain types of music because of similarities. How about Champagne or bubbly with classical, Sauvignon Blanc with rap, Riesling with folk and Chardonnay with pop? Or what about Cabernet Sauvignon or red Bordeaux with rock & roll, Syrah or Shiraz with heavy rock, Merlot with jazz and Pinot Noir or red Burgundy with opera? I believe some serious research of our own is in order here.
