Water, Wine and the Sacred, An Anthropological View of Substances Altered by Intentioned Awareness, including Objective and Aesthetic Effects

This paper discusses the ancient anthropological linkage of water and wine with sacred rituals after these substances have been the focus of nonlocal perturbation. The paper reports the changes produced can be both physical, as well as a subjective aesthetic reaction arising when individuals have a sensorial interaction with such treated substances. In making this argument the paper presents and discusses research done by others, as well as the author including reporting the results of a 12 part series of experiments in which groups of seven people tasted wine from one 750ml bottle that had been decanted into two identical 375ml carafes.
