Description: [...] if when tasting we are bewildered as to the pleasurable nature of what we have ingested, we depend upon habit or training to change or develop our valuative response. [...] taste is considered resistant to rational or argumentative influence. 7 Since these "non-cognitive" and "habitual" tenets also lie behind some of the skeptical challenges to the objectivity of wine tasting, let me discuss them in a little more detail. [...] my argument against aesthetic subjectivism with respect to wine tasting is directed specifically against the skeptical argument that tastes in wine are subjective because the elements of that experience are identified by idiosyncratic association and ordered on a non-cognitive or whimsical basis. 20 Structural models of wine tasting counter the subjectivist's position by urging that what appear to be idiosyncratic associations, to the extent that they are objective qualities, have a functional origin in the tasting experience.
