Maynard James Keenan plays Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Tricky, and Massive Attack to his grapes

Tool singer Maynard James Keenan, a winemaker in his spare time, plays certain albums to certain types of grapes while processing, as he's told in a new Discogs interview. "During vintage, I choose whole albums to play to the grapes while processing,” he says - “some playlists are played year after year to the same fruit. We note what music was played to what grapes and then these playlists are included with the tasting notes”. Discogs was shown a chart indicating exactly which music is played to specific types of grapes - it varies from Portishead, Massive Attack, and Tricky to Led Zeppelin, Alice Cooper, AC/DC, and Kiss, with some Devo, Spiritualized, and Low as well. No Tool, A Perfect Circle, or Puscifer in Keenan's cellar.
