The Aesthetics of Wine shows that discussing wine within the framework of aesthetics both benefits our understanding of wine as a phenomenon, while also challenging some of the basic assumptions of the tradition of aesthetics. * Analyzes the appreciation of wine as an aesthetic practice. * Tackles prejudices against bodily senses, showing how they distort traditional aesthetic theory * Represents the beginnings of a reformulation of general aesthetics
