Dr Jo Burzynska is exploring the effects of sound and music on the experience of wine drinking in her new Oenosthesia series, available through subscription on Substack.

"It's a platform through which I'll be sharing regular writing on wine and music outside of my academic publishing," says the sound artist, wine writer, multisensory researcher and consultant, who recently completed her PhD on the subject.

The series name, which Jo has used for previous projects, combines the Greek words 'oenos' - meaning wine - and 'aesthesis' - from sense perception, "with a nod to aesthetics and a play on synesthesia, the latter being the rare neurological condition in which stimulation through one sense triggers an experience in another".
