A Philosophy of Wine?

Is wine a topic for Philosophy? Barry Smith thinks so...

I mentioned elsewhere this week that one of my favorite websites was Philosophy Bites. The website makes podcasts available - podcasts of interviews with leading academics in the field today. They discuss, well, philosophy. And occasionally an issue comes up that touches on something I write about.

Smith is a philosopher. He teacher philosophy at Birkbeck College, University of London. And he brings the perspective of philosophy to the experience of drinking wine.

You can here the interview with him here.
