Description: Science-mindedness in nineteenth-century New World winegrower organisations is a neglected area of research in studies of wine and culture. Where culture is defined as tradition or artistry, science may be thought of as separate from, or even in opposition to, culture. Yet scientific research and instruction are human endeavours requiring practices of reasoning through problems, encounters between practitioners and knowledge exchanged in modes of communication from interpersonal to international. Science, in its development and application, is a form of human culture. This chapter traces the emergence of a faith in science in colonial Australia and challenges to that mindset among members of one of the Anglophone New World’s oldest and most enduring winegrower organisations, the Hunter River Vineyard Association.
