A philosophy of wine | Pierre-Yves Quivigier

• What is drinking?
• Is there an aesthetics of wine?
• A philosophy of intoxication?

Exploring original themes in this subject, such as knowledge, social experience, or morality, this book, to be enjoyed without moderation, travels the road from our palate to our brain. Pierre-Yves Quiviger, who describes himself as a "passionate lover of wine," offers an unprecedented, erudite, and lively reflection.

From Plato to Clément Rosset passing through Rousseau, from Burgundy to Bordeaux, from the Jura to Auvergne, he explores the links between the sensory pleasure provided by the Divine bottle and the intellectual knowledge we have (or will have after reading it), while sharing, with a light and precise pen, his cheerful wine-loving obsession.
