If you like Jimi Hendrix, you might like Cabernet Sauvignon
Synthèse points to an article
describing a study that suggests that music can influence the way wine
tastes. For instance, subjects in the study listening to heavy rock
music rated a cabernet sauvignon as being 60 per cent more powerful and
heavy than those who drank in silence.
