But now an increasing number in France are getting even more closely involved in the actual creation of fine wines, like the many international celebrities who have put associated their name and image with top vintages.

The menu at The Canteen in southwest England doesn't just let diners know how much a dish costs. They can also check its carbon footprint. The carrot and beetroot pakora with yoghurt sauce is responsible for just 16 grams of CO2 emissions.
