Title: How Guns & Roses can change your tune on wine Post by: jarmo on May 14, 2008, 10:11:41 AM Quote Heriot Watt scientist discovers the effect music has on our brains and tastebuds Melanie Reid Do not be surprised if restaurants start playing Wagner to disguise the taste of the house red. Scientists have discovered that music influences taste - and that listening to powerful, heavy music makes wine seem richer and heavier. ... Quote Professor North's research showed that when a powerful, heavy piece of music such as Sweet Child O' Mine by Guns 'N' Roses was played, people drinking a cabernet sauvignon thought it was 60 per cent more robust than when no music was played. The research could have implications, such as spelling the end of piped music in bars. It also raises interesting questions about music and food matching. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/article3927527.ece (http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/article3927527.ece) No wonder people drink at GN'R shows!

Was only trying to make a point about how someone can start a thread ( Not me, btw) about being pissed off that a tour was cancelled again, or the lack of info given by the band regarding the album, etc. and have it wiped away like a Tsunami, yet A post about how a Gnr song can make your wine taste sweeter surfaces without a hitch. Just seems silly Again - sorry nothing more than wanting to see interesting Gnr news - This post obviously does not do it for me, next time I will not even comment and keep to myself - no probs Title: Re: How Guns & Roses can change your tune on wine Post by: jarmo on May 14, 2008, 03:48:51 PM Title: Re: How Guns & Roses can change your tune on wine Post by: COMAMOTIVE on May 14, 2008, 03:53:41 PM Now at least " THAT " was funny.... :D Title: Re: How Guns & Roses can change your tune on wine Post by: Adam_Guill on May 14, 2008, 05:28:32 PM this coma is doing wonders for my Shiraz

Music 'can enhance wine taste' (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/7400109.stm) Playing a certain type of music can enhance the way wine tastes, research by psychologists suggests. The Heriot Watt University study found people rated the change in taste by up to 60% depending on the melody heard. The researchers said cabernet sauvignon was most affected by "powerful and heavy" music, and chardonnay by "zingy and refreshing" sounds. Professor Adrian North said the study could lead retailers to put music recommendations on their wine bottles. The research involved 250 students at the university who were offered a free glass of wine in exchange for their views. Brain theory Four types of music were played - Carmina Burana by Orff ("powerful and heavy"), Waltz of the Flowers from The Nutcracker by Tchaikovsky ("subtle and refined"), Just Can't Get Enough by Nouvelle Vague ("zingy and refreshing") and Slow Breakdown by Michael Brook ("mellow and soft") The white wine was rated 40% more zingy and refreshing when that music was played, but only 26% more mellow and soft when music in that category was heard. MUSIC RECOMMENDATIONS Cabernet Sauvignon: All Along The Watchtower (Jimi Hendrix), Honky Tonk Woman (Rolling Stones), Live And Let Die (Paul McCartney and Wings), Won't Get Fooled Again (The Who) Chardonnay: Atomic (Blondie), Rock DJ (Robbie Williams), What's Love Got To Do With It (Tina Turner), Spinning Around (Kylie Minogue) Syrah: Nessun Dorma (Puccini), Orinoco Flow (Enya), Chariots Of Fire (Vangelis), Canon (Johann Pachelbel) Merlot: Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay (Otis Redding), Easy (Lionel Ritchie), Over The Rainbow (Eva Cassidy), Heartbeats (Jose Gonzalez) Source: Montes wines The red was altered 25% by mellow and fresh music, yet 60% by powerful and heavy music. The results were put down to "cognitive priming theory", where the music sets up the brain to respond to the wine in a certain way. "Wine manufacturers could recommend that while drinking a certain wine, you should listen to a certain sort of music," Prof North said. The research was carried out for Chilean winemaker Aurelio Montes, who plays monastic chants to his maturing wines. Mr Montes said: "It was therefore a natural extension to link with Heriot Watt and to scientifically determine the impact that music has on how wine tastes." Previously, Professor North conducted supermarket research which suggested people were five times more likely to buy French wine than German wine if accordion music was played in the background. If an oompah band was played, the German product outsold the French by two to one.

So instead of blaming my lack of willpower as I drain the bottle of Chilean red, I can instead attribute it to the jesus-like qualities of Guns N' Roses for making it taste so sublime. I wonder if Axl's divine power extends to absolving all my embarrassing, drunken antics too. :hihi: Quote David Williams, editor of Wine & Spirit magazine, said: ?I love the idea that music has such an enormous effect on the way we taste wine, and I love the idea that people in the wine trade might make use of this information. Maybe we'll start seeing buy-one-get-one-free offers replaced by free Mozart with every bottle of Mosel Riesling, or a Nick Cave CD with a case of Barossa shiraz. Now there's a thought - the US can keep their Dr Pepper and the rest of us can get a free bottle of cabernet when CD is released. : ok: Title: Re: How Guns & Roses can change your tune on wine Post by: gunns1 on May 15, 2008, 08:29:51 AM what the hell, why would anyone start a boring old wine thread
