Muslim fundamentalists should learn tolerance through wine, leading philosopher Roger Scruton argues this month in Decanter.

Scruton, research professor for the Institute for the Psychological Sciences in both Washington and Oxford, suggests the most important thing about wine is the truth that is contained within it, rather than 'what you blurt out under its influence.'

The writer and thinker – and wine critic for news weekly the New Statesman – considers himself one of the first to 'extract the philosophical truth in wine'.
