About the work

Wine and Philosophy (ISBN 9781405154314) delves into how wine intersects with questions of ethics, aesthetics, epistemology, and social practice, offering a thoughtful blend of literary reflection and scholarly inquiry. It demonstrates that the sensory experience of wine can illuminate broader philosophical concerns about taste, value, and human flourishing.

Summary

The book surveys a range of philosophical topics as they relate to wine, from the nature of taste and judgment to the ethics of wine production, consumption, and sharing. It includes discussions on virtue, habit, memory, and meaning as they emerge around wine culture, while weighing scientific perspectives against experiential wisdom. Through concise essays and reflective meditation, it reveals how wine can serve as a lens for examining culture, identity, and moral consideration.

The Greek word sympotein means literally "to drink together." In the era of Socrates and Plato, the symposium was a central part of Greek culture: a gathering where men consumed wine freely and debated the issues of the day. Philosophers, wine critics, and winemakers share their passion for wine through well-crafted essays that explore wine's deeper meaning, nature, and significance. Wine & Philosophy offers a playfully fresh, insightful - and, at times, controversial - perspective on the philosophical dimensions of wine and wine appreciation. Joining Beer & Philosophy and Food & Philosophy in the "Epicurean Trilogy," the essays herein celebrate the ongoing relationship between wine and philosophical reflection, discussion, and debate.
