As co-owner and manager of a bar, I see it as my responsibility to consider how to work more ecologically in the bar landscape. Not an easy task when you consider the international product range ... Read more...

Quality management
at the bar

Quality in service is not limited to the performance of the waiter at the guest, but is connected to many other factors. Service quality begins in the background, with a complex construct in which all the edges must function like clockwork.

Starting with reservation requests, through roster design, to saying goodbye to the guest and responding to guest feedback. Between these processes, a lot of hand movements and professionalism are required to make a guest ... Read more ...

Former whiskey world power

Irish Whiskey - a Giant Returns

In the last century, it seemed as if there was only one direction for Irish whiskey: downhill. But now the former world whiskey power is well on its way to regaining its former greatness - even if its neighbour from Scotland will hardly be able to be toppled from its throne.

A comeback can only be celebrated by those who, after a period of rest, can build on the success of days long gone. Thanks to growth figures in the multi-digit percentage range and the number of distilleries that have ... Read more ...

Rum's cousin

Distillates from sugar beet

Sugar beet as a basis for alcohol is nothing new. And yet Swiss distillers have only had the noble spirit made from molasses or sugar beet syrup on their radar for a few years, because rum is in vogue. But beware! The rum category is reserved only for distillates made from cane sugar.

Martin Holec, Delahunt, Dublin

Not long ago, I had to fly to Dublin a couple of times on business. Besides pubs, I was naturally interested in what cocktail bars the city had to offer. I had known about VCC for a while, but when I went upstairs to the Sitting Room after a visit to a restaurant in the Delahunt, it was clear which bar was number one in Dublin.
