A guide to food plating and presentation

Ever wanted to know the secrets behind the art of plating food like a top chef? The way a dish is presented on the plate plays a crucial role in the overall guest dining experience. All of our senses are engaged when we're dining out; sound, smell, and touch are all important elements in restaurants, but sight has particular value beyond the present moment. The use of imagery to draw in customers and tempt patrons to try a dish, paired with the far-reaching nature of social media means that food presentation is more important than ever.

Post hangover: What is the right price for Bordeaux en primeur 2023?

No two years are alike in the fine wine market, especially in Bordeaux. The 2022 vintage was of outstanding quality and its release in the spring of 2023 followed several years of rising prices. Since then, the market has taken a turn for the worse: sluggish demand combined with significant inventories have sent prices into a downward spiral. In this context, the pricing of the 2023 Bordeaux en primeur wines is being watched closely. For the châteaux, setting the right price is a real balancing act. Collectively, they are aware that the market needs 2023s to sell well, but they also want to avoid devaluing previous vintages by comparison. Individually, many châteaux are anxious not to squander the marketing efforts of recent years and fear diluting their brand by positioning themselves inappropriately.
