Answer:  Beajoulais!  (seriously...)

http://m.technologyreview.com/blog/arxiv/27664/

It seems that in 2011 a group of Japanese researchers tried to marinate FeTeS in different alcoholic beverages in order to make it superconductive.  It turned out that red wines work better and the best of red wines is a 2009 Beajoulais.  According to a work of 2012, it seems that the reason is high tartaric acid concentration.

OK, nice.  A question, however, remains: how did it come to their mind the idea of marinating FeTeS in alcohol?!?
