Интерпретации на вкуса в езика на виното

The article addresses the issue of sensory taste and its relation to the Aesthetics. Attention is drawn to the synthetic nature of the perception of taste. Taste is capable of perceiving its objects only with the participation of the other senses. The sensory taste objects have never been considered as part of the aesthetic theory. Nevertheless the name „taste“ is used as a metaphor designating the aesthetic faculty of judgment. One of the main claims in the article is that through the emergence and the development of a specific wine language and a method for descriptive analysis of wine in the second half of XX century sensory taste for the first time can be viewed as a source of aesthetic experience. The article gives a brief overview of the emergence of a new sign system used for the description of wine. The article deals with the traditional form of wine classification and evaluation based on the origin and the emergence of alternative forms like the 100 point evaluation system introduced in the 1970s by R. Parker. The interpretation of taste in the wine language opens a new field in human experience where metaphors are the main tool for explanation and understanding. The article draws attention to the prevalence of this language outside the field of wine and its application to other objects of taste.
