Short description The Aesthetics of Wine questions the historic reluctance to ascribe aesthetic attributes to wine, arguing instead that an appreciation of fine wine should be afforded aesthetic consideration-and can lead to valuable aesthetic experiences. Moreover, the authors reveal how the dismissal of wine appreciation stems from certain prejudices against the 'bodily' senses of smell and taste, inherent biases that seriously misrepresent the nature of aesthetic perception and judgment. By tackling these prejudices utilizing a suite of philosophical strategies such as social epistemology and phenomenology, the authors reveal a unique new formulation of the very foundations of aesthetics.
