Wine, audio, and music. How many of us Aphiles enjoy wine when listening to music?

Like jond, I'm in the wine business. Have been for the last 35 years. 

Does wine complement music?  Yup. 

I spend way more on audio than I do on wine simply because I get my vino cheap. 

JJ Prum Kabinett with Joni Mitchell. 

Any Port with Tom Waits. Or a good rye whiskey. 

Music doesn't require alcohol to be enjoyed, but it doesn't hurt, either. 

I like the smell of marijuana at concerts even though I haven't partaken in 40 years. It just seems right. 

Last week I listened to Weather Report's "Heavy Weather" whilst absent-mindedly sipping on a domestic Sauvignon Blanc and was thrown back decades when I remembered that the first time I heard the record I was listening to it with a now departed friend, drinking a domestic Sauvignon Blanc. In August. In his backyard. I probably would have had a somewhat similar flashback with just the record alone, but the wine galvanized, and improved the recollection by adding another dimension to it. 

Mateus Rosè, anyone?

I was also in the wine and spirits business for many years, now retired- ye haa!  It is not overrated!

I enjoy a nice glass of wine while enjoying some tunes.  I also like an excellent bourbon on occasion.  

It is curious how my mood changes with my choice of drink - beer for The Allman Bros or Govt. Mule, Wine for Cowboy Junkies or Natalie Merchant, preferably a nice Italian blend, and bourbon for well, everything!

Cheers!

Very interesting how the type music and wine or other drink choice have synergy.
