Launched as part of the UNESCO Chair "Culture and Traditions of Wine" at the University of Burgundy, the Rencontres du Clos-Vougeot aim to approach wine as a cultural product, a vector of civilization, whose enlightened consumption is a true art of living and a philosophy linked to conviviality and sharing, humanistic values if ever there were any.
The tenth edition of the Rencontres du Clos Vougeot, entitled "Drinking wine yesterday and today," took place at the eponymous castle on September 29, 30, and October 1, 2016. Drawing on research in various disciplines and numerous current examples or from world history, about thirty international speakers discussed the ways of consuming this beverage that has shaped societies and their evolution over time. Drinking wine yesterday and today is not just a dietary or hedonistic gesture, even if everything related to consumption and taste is a major element of this work. The way of drinking and the wine consumed over time also help to understand how vineyards around the world have been built step by step and have evolved throughout history.
The first part of the work, entitled "The winemaker and his vine, towards a diaspora of vine and wine," proposes to follow, from antiquity to the present day, from the Mountains of Lebanon to China via Bordeaux and Burgundy, the different actors in the construction and constant mutations of the vitivinisphere, winemakers or merchants, vineyard workers, producers, or merchants. The second part of the work, "From wine as food to wine as a taste enhancer," seeks, with examples from philosophy, sociology, history, physicochemistry, and art history, to understand this wine consumer in all his diversity. The third part of the volume returns to the present with the reporting of a Round Table on "The production and consumption of wines in the world." A synthesis, supplemented by geographical examples, highlights numerous mutations, initiated or already completed.
