<p>In addition to the more usual flavours of honey, citrus and oak, wine lovers may soon recognise a note of Mozart or hint of Haydn in their glass if one Austrian&#8217;s quirky idea catches on. </p>
<p>Convinced that music is a key ingredient for a good bottle of red or white, Markus Bachmann has invented a special speaker that exposes fermenting grape juice to classical, jazz or electronic tunes. </p>
<p>The sound waves, he claims, positively influence the maturing process and produce a better-tasting wine, but some scientists are less convinced. </p>
<p>Werner Gruber, a University of Vienna physicist and member of a group known as the Science Busters, which aims to debunk false scientific claims, rejected the idea as &#8220;rubbish.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Yeast, fungi, don&#8217;t have opinions,&#8221; Gruber said. &#8220;They really don&#8217;t care if AC/DC, Madonna or Mozart is played to them.&#8221;</p>
<p>Mr Bachmann is undeterred by such criticism, insisting his invention will be the next big thing in winemaking.</p>
<p>But the 44-year-old is highly protective of his sound-infusing gadget, refusing to have the small, baby blue UFO-shaped object filmed or photographed.</p>
<p>Bachmann says that the sound waves emanating from his speaker move yeast particles around and, among other things, cause them to eat up greater amounts of sugar, resulting in a wine that has a lower overall sugar content.</p>
<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s an absolute scientific basis for it,&#8221; Bachmann said.</p>
<p>Bachmann has teamed up with six Austrian wine growers and an initial 31,000 litres of so-called Sonor Wines, priced at about 19 to 25 euros (£16 to £21), will go on sale soon. They include a 2010 pinot blanc infused with Mozart&#8217;s 41st Symphony and a 2010 zweigelt exposed to a selection of arias.</p>
