Glitz is a Vikram Chatwal hallmark. When the 35-year-old scion of Indian-American hotel-and-restaurant tycoon Sant Chatwal got married in February to Bombay socialite Priya Sachdev, the wedding was spread over 10 unrestrained parties in three Indian cities for a full week, and[an error occurred while processing this directive] drew celebrities like Bill Clinton (Sant is a serious donor to the U.S. Democratic Party) and steel magnate Lakshmi Mittal. The style of Vikram's personal hotel group, called Hautel Couture, is just as extravagant as its owner...
...artist with a reputation for lofty concepts, ethereal soundscapes and evanescent light shows, Brian Eno's west London studio is a place of reassuring solids. Boxes neatly marked "screws," "measuring tools," "transistors" and "plaster" jostle for wall space with meter upon meter[an error occurred while processing this directive] of books, CDs and DVDs. Above a row of keyboards and computers, five boom boxes hang neatly in line. Suspended from the ceiling is a jerry-built lightbox of perspex and wood.

At least, Ichiro Kubota, Umu's executive chef, thinks so. Kaiseki is a formal banquet [an error occurred while processing this directive]of a series of exquisite courses showcasing cooking techniques and seasonal sensitivity. It's the highest edible expression of Japanese aesthetics, with prices to match. At Umu, London's most ambitious kaiseki restaurant, Kubota goes to extraordinary lengths to bring a Kyoto accent to the land...
...detect. For those who find that intimidating, help is at hand from a country not usually associated with wine: Estonia. Stick your nose in a glass of Estonian red, and if it smells like black currant, then it probably is. The tiny Baltic republic is located too far [an error occurred while processing this directive] north to grow grapes, but it has a flourishing tradition of making wine from the berries that are found in abundance in its woodlands. The process is the same as making wine from grapes: after harvesting, the berries are crushed and the juice fermented...
