Book excerpt: Previous work on the philosophy of wine has shown wine to be an important source of aesthetic experiences. "Beauty and the Yeast" takes this argument in surprising new directions. It analyzes wine as an expressive, living organism that challenges our assumptions about creativity, beauty, good taste, and objectivity, and explains why the changing landscape of wine requires that we rethink the role of established wine traditions. The book offers unique philosophical insights into the nature of wine as an art form. It addresses issues in wine aesthetics regarding the nature of wine language and wine criticism and develops a new and distinctive theory of objectivity in aesthetic judgments that relies on dispositional realism as its theoretical framework. Finally, "Beauty and the Yeast" explores a novel approach to wine tasting that reveals our emotional attachment to wine. The book appeals to philosophers and academics interested in aesthetics but is written in an accessible style that will include in its audience wine enthusiasts and people in the wine industry involved in making and evaluating wine.--Publisher.
