The theme of this week’s Weekend magazine is ‘Sustainability’ a word you are almost guaranteed to find on the website of almost any winery you care to mention.
On the face of it making wine sustainably should be easy enough but the reality of the modern wine industry is that most wineries have a high carbon footprint. Even vineyards that are farmed organically will use a huge amount of water and electricity, damage biodiversity (grapes are a monoculture) and spray liberally with copper-sulphite to protect against mildew a spray some argue is more damaging than the synthetic alternative.

WHEN life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Sheraton Petaling Jaya’s Yue Chinese restaurant is taking this adage to heart by adapting to the movement control order and its restrictions on dine-in to offer a takeaway reunion dinner menu for Chinese New Year.
Although the MCO could be lifted in time for the celebrations on Feb 12 and 13, it is still uncertain if groups can dine at restaurants again. As such, a specially designed takeaway menu is available for those planning to enjoy a sumptuous meal in the comfort of their home.
