"The key philosophical question of whether the public's taste has changed and has forced winemakers to change with it, or whether winemaking has changed and forced wine drinkers to follow"
[...] "Gooding is not a change of taste from one thing to another but the switch from a taste for things to one for commodities. One can taste or experience mere warmth only when, through a central heating plant, warmth has been stripped of its pretechnological interwovenness with culture, nature, and community and has been secured merely, i.e., as a commodity"

"How far can we push the attenuation of our experiences? Or to explicate the problem: How thin and disembodied, i.e., superficial, can commodities become before the tie is ruptured that connects them with the things from which they are derived and from which their significance continues to draw nourishment?"
