“…Wines of the same variety exhibit discernible differences in taste due to variations in terroir, climate, processing and fermentation. In point of fact, there is some controversy among wine experts about the relative importance of typicality versus originality in judging the quality of a wine (Teil, 2001). This research reveals that disagreements between judges at different shows usually centre on whether a wine is worthy of a gold, silver or bronze medal.…”

This research examines the procedural and substantive legitimacy of the Australian capital city wine show system as a cultural consecration project. The analysis is based on the ratings of 5654 wines by judges at four capital city wine shows in 2007. Large wineries are more likely to enter wines into these competitions than small wineries. In general, there is a moderate degree of agreement between judges in terms of the medals awarded to wines entered into multiple competitions. Disagreement among the judges was most pronounced in the distinctions between different medal classes and much less pronounced between wines that received medals and those that did not. The analysis confirms that wines that won medals, especially gold and silver, commanded higher release prices than other wines. The results generally confirm the legitimacy of the capital city wine show system as a means of assigning symbolic as well as economic value to premium wines.

“…Importantly, many car owners choose their vehicles not solely as a function of performance but also for the car's perceived aesthetic value, as attested by numerous magazines dedicated to sports cars and car tuning events. Past studies have indicated a variety of attributes that affect aesthetic judgment depending on the class of objects, which calls for further investigation (Nieminen, Isto´k, Brattico, Tervaniemi, & Huotilainen, 2011;Teil, 2001;Vartanian et al, 2015;Yadav, Jain, Shukla, Avikal, & Mishra, 2013).…”

A Relationship Between Visual Complexity and Aesthetic Appraisal of Car Front Images: An Eye-Tracker Study

et al. 2015

Image aesthetic pleasure (AP) is conjectured to be related to image visual complexity (VC). The aim of the present study was to investigate whether (a) two image attributes, AP and VC, are reflected in eye-movement parameters; and (b) subjective measures of AP and VC are related. Participants (N=26) explored car front images (M=50) while their eye movements were recorded. Following image exposure (10 seconds), its VC and AP were rated. Fixation count was found to positively correlate with the subjective VC and its objective proxy, JPEG compression size, suggesting that this eye-movement parameter can be considered an objective behavioral measure of VC. AP, in comparison, positively correlated with average dwelling time. Subjective measures of AP and VC were related too, following an inverted U-shape function best-fit by a quadratic equation. In addition, AP was found to be modulated by car prestige. Our findings reveal a close relationship between subjective and objective measures of complexity and aesthetic appraisal, which is interpreted within a prototype-based theory framework.

“…For instance, nonrepresentational approaches of sociocultural practices, revisiting the role of the body in the social sciences, have addressed and included the sensuous, emotional, and meaningful dimensions of social practices (Thrift 2008; Vannini 2015) and proposed a symbolic interactionist approach of “the senses as interaction […] sensuality as sociality, and human experiences as sensuousness” inspired by interactionists such as Goffman and Becker (Vannini, Waskul, and Gottschalk 2012:10). Moreover, ethnographic studies inspired by the social studies of science have highlighted important contextual dimensions of tasting practice, for example in considering wine‐tasting critique as a complex sociomaterial procedure (Teil 2001), taste as the socialization of amateurs through a variety of technically and materially equipped practices (Hennion 2007), and tasting as integrated in the contingencies and constraints of health care (Mann 2015; Mol 2011). These studies have highlighted the relevance of a web of practices and contexts through which participants experience taste in specific ways.…”

“…Tasting sessions can be orchestrated in very different ways: in a blind or open manner; in an individual silent or collective way; with or without tools supporting perception; involving experts, critiques, novices, customers, or producers; and for various purposes, such as evaluating a product, counseling the producer, advising the consumer, or socializing taste (Teil 2001). Tasting can occur in a variety of social settings, as well as within a diversity of social activities.…”

Orchestrating Multi‐sensoriality in Tasting Sessions: Sensing Bodies, Normativity, and Language

This article develops an ethnomethodological and conversation analytic approach of sensuous practices based on video materials and multi‐modal analyses. Focusing on professional training in cheese tasting in Italy, the article shows the interplay between the bodily sensorial access to a material object and verbal descriptions of its sensorial qualities. Sensorial experience is not only configured as the body touching, smelling, or tasting a sample, nor simply orchestrated as a response following an authorized instruction; it is organized by multiple sociomaterial resources, including tasting grids as textual artifacts for enhancing and disciplining the senses. The article proposes a praxeological and interactional approach of sensoriality that integrates bodies, language, materiality, and normativity.
