  • When the sun kisses the earth and the day draws to a close - what could be nicer than a good glass of wine. Leave the stresses of the day behind you, snuggle up and really relax. To make such moments perfect, not only successful food pairing helps, but also the right atmosphere.

    We have already outlined elsewhere how a wine evening with friends or family can become a highlight. But whether alone or in a social setting - one component should not be missing: the right music.

    Music & wine: inseparably united

    Maybe you know it from vacation or from events on the road: music creates the atmosphere. No Greek evening without folkloric sounds. No cozy bar visit without lounge music. But what goes with the wine?

    A study by Herriot-Watt University in Scotland has shown that the music playing in the background has a significant impact on the perception of wine. Whether the drink was described as powerful or soft and delicate depended largely on the type of music. And this is how you can influence your wine evening too.

    Essentially, it is important that the music you play with your wine is not too intrusive. As the saying goes, your ears drink with you. Booming bass tends to distract, and music that is too loud is annoying. When choosing the right playlist, you should make sure that the songs do not contain too much singing.

    Here are a few suggestions:

    • Jazz is always a good choice, as long as the songs are mainly instrumental. This style of music conveys strong emotions and has a rather invigorating effect. Perfect after a mixed day with a light and delicate wine or Primitivo.
    • Piano music is said to have calming attributes. At the same time, the piano sounds of Mozart & Co can also lift your mood.
    • Electronic music without vocals is also an option for a wine evening. More summery and light, you can lose yourself in this style of music for an entire evening - assuming you like it anyway.
    • Lounge sound usually comes with vocals and should be played quietly in the background. This music conveys the feeling of a rooftop party and can bring back some memories.

    As soon as it doesn’t fit: switch off

    No matter what music you choose, there is always one rule for the perfect wine evening: as soon as the music no longer fits or becomes too intrusive, simply switch it off and enjoy the peace and quiet for a moment. In the end, the music should not overpower the satisfying taste of the good glass of wine.

    If you're looking for a little inspiration, we've put together a wine evening playlist on Spotify. With a total playing time of 7 hours, you can combine the playlist with more than just a glass of wine. Enjoy!
