Yes, a study conducted at a wine store about 20 years ago found that background music can indeed influence shoppers' wine selections. On days when German music was played, German wines outsold French wines by 3 to 1, and vice versa when French music was played. Despite this, over 90% of shoppers said the music did not influence their decision, suggesting that our buying decisions can be subtly influenced without our conscious awareness.
