From Bordeaux via Cognac to Paris, the last few days in France with G’Vine Perspectives had it all for our bartenders. Here are just 11 of the things we learned by looking at things from a different perspective:
1. Bartenders can actually be quite a spiritual lot
2. The French cocktail is enjoying a renaissance
3. Norwegians know a thing or two about Cognac
4. G’Vine is as delicious in food as it is in drinks
5. Alex Kratena likes to make extremely big cocktails
6. Lily Fleur, Betty and Emmy are good names for stills
7. The original gin recipe is older than you might think
8. Parisians still love the iconic Citroën 2CV
9. Inspiration can come from all sorts of people
10. Hibiscus makes a great addition to a Negroni
11. These global bartenders really know their stuff
