- Music affects how wine tastes
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.

It is true indeed. Often in the cellar we have Stravinsky or Brahms or whomever and it's not so much that it makes the wine taste better as it makes the overall experience better. If you think about it, the taste of a wine is largely dictated by factors that have nothing to do with the wine at all. Think about it, if your just having a grand ole time at a dinner party and everyone is laughing and having fun, chances are the bottle your about to pop the cork on will be unanimously enjoyed.
