I would never listen to Rammstein with Madiran.
Moscato with Lohengrin.
Dan Kravitz
Start Me Up might be the most appropriate for wine geeks.

Thatās funny, I think of them more when Iām drinking cab.
If itās a thought-provoking wine, I favor thought-provoking music. Coltraneās āA Love Supreme,ā Curtis Mayfield, Deathās āHumanā are favorites.
Otherwise I donāt really think about music-wine matching.

It really depends. I listen to all genres. Iāve paired wine w/ everything from Bjork to Meshuggah to Stravinsky to Billie Eilish.
I think about pairings but Iām not sure I have any real methodology behind it. And itās not for lack of trying.
Those two are both on my listening list as well.

I donāt have any specific pairing in mind but if Iām sipping on a glass (mostly drink together with a meal) while listening to something then it is quite often something on this radio show:
https://sverigesradio.se/p3soul
Why? Because this is probably the worldās greatest resource for everything soul, rnb, hiphop and so on. While there is Swedish spoken in between, thatās mostly translating and summarizing the key points from the English spoken interviews.
The music is there but the interviews and insights is what makes this 45 years running show with one of the most knowledgeable music journalists special (Mats NileskƤr). He has more or less interviewed everyone of interest, except Prince (though there is an episode with others close to him being interviewed). His Tupac interview was sampled on a record, you get to hear about the music and mob connection in the early days, how famous beats that are still sampled today came to be, Rick James stealing Princeās synthesizers creating some of his most famous songs, and so much more.
Btw, I recall someone (not sure what thread or who) not holding Prince very high as a music creator, well listen to that episode and see if it might not change your mind.

I would normally just listen to the same things I like in other situations. But there was a thread like this many years ago on WB, and someone recommended this album:
On a whim I checked it out, and it did indeed become something I play on occasion with wine or with wine + company.

Schoenberg is perfect for Chinon.
Yma Sumac goes well with a nice fruit forward Barbera.
French Cafe, Paris Bistro, or Streets of Paris all on Pandora.

Lots of pretty good music hereā¦but hard to beat the loops on Youtube of the Musicbrokers āBossa Novaā covers. Played at fine resorts al over the world, none better than poolside at the Amazon Mykonos Resort and of course, our living roomā¦

This is an underrated thread 
hope to see it grow and continue
Iāll throw out Stars of the Lid as a good match for burgundy. So much layering and the magic is all hiding in these ethereal details. Slow and analytical. Sadly, one of the artists behind the group passed last week.

That above and beyond track is so perfect. Love it. Her voiceā¦shivers.
70ās vintage port with Pink Floyd, Animals, on headphones. If you want a second glass, Wish You Were Here. If you are still thirsty, Meddle. And if you want to finish the bottle, David Gilmourās first album.
Slightly different than the OP, but this thread reminded me of the South African DeMorgenzon winery, which an acquaintance recommended to me years ago when I was back in country. I really liked the wines, though not sure about the musical influences they claim: The Music ā DeMorgenzon Stellenbosch
Speaking of wine music, I visited a BC winery, Black Hills, once. The barrel āroomā was a WW 2 quonset hut (large size) and inside where the winemakers worked were hung a couple of large Magneplanar speakers, in mid air over the barrels so the āboysā could have tunes while they made the wine. I thought that was pretty cool. Unfortunately they werenāt working there when I was there so I didnāt get to ask them what music they favoured.
Maybe
or
or another old favourite
or perhaps
