Your trip to the most expensive restaurant in the world may not be as grand as you expect it to be.

Some have no clue where to begin while others find it such a daunting prospect that they declare themselves happy with their cans of Budweiser. (more…)

In a rapidly changing world that has been placed at a precarious position by the mishandling it has received at the hands of humans, it is only the concerted efforts of other human beings that can help restore balance. The same holds true when it comes to farming practices, including vineyards all over the world.
Governments, major retail outlets, as well as consumers are showing increasing awareness towards the effect of fine wines on climate change. Several vineyards have taken extensive measures to go green and reduce the carbon footprints. This is the story of three of them. (more…)
