I Drink Therefore I Am: A Philosopher's Guide to Wine

Here Scruton explains the connection between good wine and serious thought with a heady mix of humour and philosophy.

We are all familiar with the medical opinion that a daily glass of wine is good for the health. Yet, there is also the rival opinion that indulging in more than a glass or two might set us on the road to ruin.

Scruton, however, makes a compelling argument: whether or not wine is good for the body, when drunk in the right frame of mind, it is undoubtedly good for the soul. And what pairs better with wine than philosophy? By thinking with wine, you can learn not only to drink in thoughts but also to think in draughts.

What This Book Offers:

• A refreshing antidote to the pretentious clap-trap often written about wine today.
• A profound apology for the drink upon which civilisation has been founded.
• A unique exploration of how wine and philosophy can intertwine to enrich the soul.

In vino veritas.
