Epistoenology (French edition): Wine as Philosophy by Nicola Perullo

In Épistoenologie (French edition), Nicola Perullo offers us a new way of appreciating wine, moving away from the classical approaches based on strict sensory analysis. Wine is no longer perceived solely as an object of study but becomes the vehicle of a relational experience. This philosophical approach highlights a radically different vision, in which wine acts as a mediator that connects us to our environment, our emotions, and others.

Through this philosophy of wine, Perullo critiques the conventional segmentation of tasting, often influenced by analytical methods akin to exact sciences. Instead, he proposes a relational approach, where wine is appreciated not in isolation but as an integral part of a broader array of sensations and experiences.

This book is aimed at those who want to redefine their relationship with wine, seeking to understand how it can make us more aware of consciousness, compassion, and communication. Perullo invites us to explore a haptic perception, a tactile and intuitive approach that enriches our way of feeling and savoring wine.

As a renowned philosopher and academic, Nicola Perullo, professor of aesthetics at the University of Gastronomic Sciences in Pollenzo, has extensive experience in exploring theories of taste and perception. This work is the updated and expanded French translation of his internationally acclaimed book Epistenology. Wine as experience (2020).

This reflection on wine as a vector of consciousness is an essential work for those who want to go beyond simple tasting, seeking a true emotional and intellectual connection with what they consume.
