News alert: Wine snobs attempt to ruin music, too

First it was don’t drink red wine with fish; then it was drink some red wines with fish. And now, just when we were all getting pretty comfortable with tasting, enjoying and assessing wine, the wine snobs have tossed us another curve. Apparently, now we have to choose the right music or our wine experiences will suffer!

According to this article, “Wine affects you differently depending on whether you’re in a good mood or a bad one. The more relaxed you are by music, which can slow the pulse and soothe you, the more awake and the more receptive are your senses to the delights of wine.”

Can’t a girl just glug back a glass of vino while she watches TV and enjoy it without writing an essay about each sip? Seriously, are we making wine (and other drinks and foods) just too precious?
