It’s long been said that certain wines go with certain food, with waiters in posh restaurants regularly recommending the Bordeaux red with the shank of lamb, or the pinot noir with the fish. But now a Bristol-based wine producer has become possibly the first in the world to produce a wine that comes with its own recommendation of what music to play while you’re drinking it.
Ingrid Bates, the founder of Dunleavy Wines, who produce award-winning wines from a vineyard near Bristol Airport, said she was moved to create a ‘wine and music experience’, and also celebrate Bristol’s vibrant music scene.
“You’ve heard of food and wine pairing? Well, why not pair another sensory experience, listening to music, with the drinking of wine?” she said. Dunleavy’s latest five wine labels have been ‘paired’ with five Bristol musical acts, and people drinking the wine just have to click on a QR code on the bottle, to hear the music.
