Abstract
[Resumen] Este ensayo propone una aproximación sociológica al vino como hecho social, cultural y territorial. Frente a los enfoques centrados principalmente en la viticultura, la enología, la agronomía, la química o la cata, el texto defiende la necesidad de interpretar el vino como una práctica social atravesada por valores, representaciones, imaginarios, relaciones de poder, memoria colectiva, patrimonio e identidad. A partir de una lectura teórica de autores clásicos y contemporáneos de las ciencias sociales, el trabajo articula tres ejes principales: la construcción de una teoría social del vino, su relación con la sociedad de consumo y sus territorialidades. En primer lugar, se abordan las contribuciones de Durkheim, Weber, Berger y Luckmann, Castoriadis, Barthes y Bourdieu, entre otros, para comprender el vino como signo, mito, representación colectiva e imaginario social. En segundo lugar, se analiza el consumo del vino desde las aportaciones de Ibáñez, Baudrillard y Bauman, atendiendo al papel del marketing, la publicidad y la mercantilización en la transformación simbólica del producto. Por último, se exploran las conexiones entre vino, paisaje, geografía humana y territorio, destacando su dimensión patrimonial y relacional. El ensayo concluye que una sociología del vino permite ampliar el análisis del sector vitivinícola más allá de su dimensión productiva, incorporando cultura, territorio, identidad, patrimonio, diversidad y cambio social como categorías fundamentales para interpretar sus transformaciones contemporáneas. Palabras clave: sociología del vino; cultura del vino; territorio; patrimonio; consumo; imaginarios sociales.
[Abstract] This essay proposes a sociological approach to wine as a social, cultural, and territorial fact. In contrast to approaches mainly focused on viticulture, oenology, agronomy, chemistry, or tasting, the text argues for the need to interpret wine as a social practice shaped by values, representations, imaginaries, power relations, collective memory, heritage, and identity. Drawing on a theoretical reading of classical and contemporary authors in the social sciences, the essay develops three main axes: the construction of a social theory of wine, its relationship with consumer society, and its territorialities. First, it discusses the contributions of Durkheim, Weber, Berger and Luckmann, Castoriadis, Barthes, and Bourdieu, among others, in order to understand wine as a sign, myth, collective representation, and social imaginary. Second, it analyzes wine consumption through the contributions of Ibáñez, Baudrillard, and Bauman, focusing on the role of marketing, advertising, and commodification in the symbolic transformation of the product. Finally, it explores the connections between wine, landscape, human geography, and territory, highlighting its heritage-based and relational dimensions. The essay concludes that a sociology of wine makes it possible to broaden the analysis of the wine sector beyond its productive dimension by incorporating culture, territory, identity, heritage, diversity, and social change as key categories for interpreting its contemporary transformations. Keywords: sociology of wine; wine culture; territory; heritage; consumption; social imaginaries.
