Definition of epicure
epicure \EP-ih-cure\ (noun) - One with sensitive and discriminating tastes especially in food and wine.
   
   "Geraldine was the sort of epicure who knew exactly what sort of wine to order with a specific meal, as well as the correct behavior when offered the cork."
   
   Epicurus, a Greek philosopher who lived from 341-270 B.C., believed that the best life was one of simple pleasures in which a person lived with a tranquil mind and freedom from pain. When "epicure" entered English in the 16th century, it referred to someone who followed the philosophy of Epicurus. But over time people came to believe that the philosopher actually encouraged his followers to pursue material and sensual gratification, so the term was soon applied to anyone devoted to materialistic self-indulgence; it later came to be used for one who loves good food and wine.
