in some ways it is a sensory enjoyment like good food. In that sense, people can enjoy whatever they enjoy without justifying it.On the other hand, scientific methods are a powerful way to find things out, and it would be nice if they were used- there would be far less argument and far more real data.
Even wine journals outline their test procedures and results. This isn't science per se, but it is a step toward scientific methodology.
