About this book
An engaging discussion on the philosophical significance of wine.
Can a wine really be feminine, profound, or pretentious? Is Château L'Eglise Clinet 1989 really a better wine than Château Belair 1989? Does a sommelier's judgment have any objective validity or is everyone's palette different and the advice of a critic therefore irrelevant? Is a great wine a work of art?

Reviews
"Cain Todd's work is a pioneering study of the concept of taste as applied to wine, and a serious attempt to make sense of one of the most peculiar forms of criticism currently exercised. It is a skilful bid to rescue wine from the gluttons and to save it for the aesthetes, and all true lovers of wine will be greatly stimulated by its arguments and examples." Roger Scruton, Institute for the Psychological Sciences, Washington and Oxford
