Why foam matters in beer
Beer foam is often misunderstood, seen by some drinkers as little more than decoration or wasted beer. Yet from a brewing and sensory perspective, foam plays a fundamental role in how beer looks, smells and tastes. In this article, brewer, beer judge and Budvar Global Brand Ambassador Radim Zvánovec explores the science, tradition and service techniques behind great beer foam, from the proteins and hop compounds that stabilise it to the Czech pouring culture that treats foam as an essential part of the drinking experience itself. Many consumers still see foam as something undesirable, maybe a trick to serve less beer for the same price. In many parts of the world, a beer with a thick, creamy head is still met with the familiar reaction: “Too much foam.” Or “Can you add Flake in it!?” Yet from a brewing and sensory perspective, the exact opposite is true. Good foam is one of the clearest indicators of beer quality. A stable foam head reflects proper carbonation, clean glassware, healthy

Utiel-Requena: one of Spain’s most misunderstood wine regions?
Utile-Requena is perched on a high-altitude plateau, a short hour west of Valencia. The wines from there today achieve a striking balance of elegance, concentration, and a sense of their origin. The main grape is the autochthonous bobal. This overlooked Spanish wine region has a harsh continental climate that preserves a striking grape acidity. Bobal […] Continue reading: Utiel-Requena: one of Spain’s most misunderstood wine regions?

videoHow a Restaurant at 12,000 Feet Uses Ingredients Found Nowhere Else | Food & Wine
How does one of the highest-altitude and most remote fine dining restaurants on Earth create a world-class tasting menu using ingredients found nowhere else? High in the Andes of Peru, Chef-Owner Virgilio Martínez has built MIL around a simple idea: every dish should tell the story of the landscape that surrounds it. Follow Virgilio and his team as they harvest rare Andean ingredients, revive ancient farming traditions, and prepare an eight-course tasting menu sourced almost entirely from the ecosystem around the restaurant. From black mashua—a striking purple tuber with a spicy, horseradish-like flavor that captures a true sense of place—to endangered corn and rare varieties of quinoa, the menu celebrates the biodiversity of the Andes. Virgilio also demonstrates huatia, a traditional Andean earthen oven and cooking method that dates back thousands of years to the Inca Empire, connecting each meal to the region's rich culinary heritage. Described by Virgilio as "the restaurant of the

From France to New Zealand - the inspiring family behind Clos Henri
When scanning the land in Sancerre for new places to expand, brothers Jean-Marie and the late Rémi Bourgeois discovered it was going to be extremely tricky, which led them to... Marlborough, New Zealand. Some might say it's the epicentre of Sauvignon Blanc but for a family whose members have been making wine in France for 10 generations, that might be a little bit of a stretch. That was in 2000 and the two brothers bought 98 hectares of land, naming it 'Clos Henri'. In many ways, they are ...
videoPellegrinaggio Enoico con Attilio Scienza: Ep 24: Dai monasteri al Marsala, la Sicilia del vino
In questa tappa, il racconto si focalizza sulla nascita della viticoltura siciliana moderna, partendo dal successo internazionale del Marsala legato alle figure di Woodhouse, Ingham e Florio. Attilio Scienza approfondisce la storia del Perpetuo, l'antenato artigianale del Marsala ottenuto con un sistema di rabbocchi simile alla Solera, prima che l'industrializzazione ne cambiasse progressivamente il profilo culturale. L'episodio analizza inoltre il devastante impatto della fillossera a fine Ottocento e il conseguente declino economico durato decenni, offrendo infine una riflessione critica sulla necessità di riscoprire i vitigni autoctoni e il valore delle tradizioni storiche per superare logiche puramente commerciali.

In addition to wine, we also cover food and travel, this winning trifecta makes up our identity. Proje
