Does wine taste better in certain phases of the moon? Catherine Nixey ventures to North London to find out ...
"I rarely mix wine with philosophy (a favoured pastime for some). But I am not often in the position of sipping the same wine twice in an afternoon, in order to observe the effect of the moon's passage on its flavour. The Winery specialises in wines produced according to biodynamic principles, which hold that a wine's taste is altered dramatically by the phases of the moon. I am here to sample such changes myself."
The idea of biodynamic wine is, I am sure, hokum and the article is less an experiment than it is a bit of whimsy, but I like her tone--and the wine, I am sure, isn't bad.
