Music and Alcohol

Can't think of a label for this post, other than the title! Inspired by something someone said about Electronic Dance Music, I offer my list of what beverage to drink with what music:

• Robert de Visée suites on Baroque guitar: a really, really old cognac
• Bob Dylan: bourbon, or, for you young folks, applejack
• J. S. Bach: a fine Moselle Kabinett
• Leonard Cohen: an allongé and a cigarette
• François Couperin, le grand: Clos Vougeot 1845
• Joseph Haydn: a bottle of Tokaji Aszú, the older the better
• Ludwig van Beethoven: personally, a bottle of Château Lafite 1955, but perhaps he would prefer a nice Viennese spring wine
• Electronic Dance Music: vodka and Red Bull
• Jean Sibelius: Lakka (Finnish cloudberry liqueur)
• Bryan Townsend: Canadian ice wine
• Janis Joplin: Southern Comfort
• Peter Maxwell Davies: Laphroaig single-malt Scotch

Which gives us our envoi: Farewell to Stromness by Peter Maxwell Davies:
