New wine guide launches in July

Michelin unveiled its first guide dedicated to Burgundy wine regions in July. The company followed this launch with selections from Bordeaux announced in September. These new guides rank individual vineyard estates as distinct brands rather than entire countries.

Expansion moves into wine sector

The people behind the restaurant and hotel guides have officially entered the wine ratings market. This shift marks a significant change in how the organization evaluates food and drink offerings. Critics suggest this move expands the brand beyond its traditional culinary focus.
