AlanHo Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 A BBC article claims that playing music to a bottle of wine can significantly change its taste.Being naturally gullible - I decided to give it a try. I placed my Kenwood headphones around a bottle of Chilean cabernet sauvignon reserve and played it Gustav Mahler's Symphony No 4 in G Major at a reasonable volume. It may have been my imagination - but the wine seemed to be rippling in little waves as the music surged through it - clearly having an effect. I opened the wine for dinner in great anticipation only to find I now have a bottle of red wine vinegar - confirming a long held belief about Mahler's music. I am thinking of trying the experiment with another bottle - but this time I will play it a track from ABBA, Cliff Richard or Barry Manilow to see if the wine will react positively to real music.

I had one that I could have sworn had square brakes. It used to shudder dreadfully at speed when the brakes were applied. The gear change was like waving a wand about. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
