Now I know why I prefer Cabs...

This is entertaining:

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.

Huh. I would have picked Mad Dog 20-20 as the wine most improved by "Honky Tonk Women" (as well as the wine most likely to make "Live and Let Die" bearable) and something brown in a mason jar -- maybe an old-school muscatel -- as being enhanced by Otis.

I hear anything on harpsichord brings out the best in a Riesling.
