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
