About this Event

Only a beverage or something more? Exploring the cultural context of wine.

Most of the discourse about wine today is around what it tastes like or how to make or sell it. Each of these aspects of wine, however, are bound up in cultural dimensions which are often less closely examined. Tasting is constrained by social norms of ‘taste’, viticulture by historical expectations, and so on. This masterclass intends to explore how the image of wine, and its production and distribution is shaped by more than the notion of what is ‘good’ or quality. Prof. Charters will start by looking at the evolution of the role of Champagne in shaping French culture, and he will show what lessons we can learn about it in the Australian context, particularly in relation to the ‘aesthetic’ vs. ‘cultural’ wine dichotomy.
