Music affects how wine tastes
Posted by Philip, May 14.

I thought this was pretty interesting:

At a basic level it makes sense, good music will make good wine taste better, but I'd never thought of it as this complex: "cabernet sauvignon was most affected by "powerful and heavy" music, and chardonnay by "zingy and refreshing" sounds."

I know just the person to get to chip in here

And apparently HipHop makes Cristal taste better ... just ask Jay-Z! ;-)

Yeah, I know he has switched ... okay ... Champagne and hiphop!

That's interesting because come to think of it, I am hardly ever listening to music when I'm drinking wine. Normally, I have some with the TV in the background, or if at a restaurant, they are playing some background music that I don't even notice.
I'll have to try this and report back.
