Here Scruton explains the connection between good wine and serious thought with a heady mix of humour and philosophy. We are familiar with the medical opinion that a daily glass of wine is good for the health and also the rival opinion that any more than a glass or two will set us on the road to ruin. Whether or not good for the body, Scruton argues, wine, drunk in the right frame of mind, is definitely good for the soul. And there is no better accompaniment to wine than philosophy. By thinking with wine, you can learn not only to drink in thoughts but to think in draughts. This good-humoured book offers an antidote to the pretentious clap-trap that is written about wine today and a profound apology for the drink on which civilisation has been founded. In vino veritas.

  1. Renodlas och kultiveras.
    Dr. Larson., 26 mars 2022

    Konservativ brittisk filosof tittar djupt i vinglaset och fabulerar fritt om tiden, platsen och sällskapet för ett tankeväckande symposion om vinets filosofi. Högst subjektivt. Stundtals raljerande. Delvis roande. Även filosofin, precis som vinet, måste renodlas, kultiveras fram, växa i smak och elegans, djup och karaktär.
