"In a strikingly gilded, serpentine building in northern Bordeaux is this temple to wine, where touchscreens and a paired audio guide take you deep into the world of wine. France is world-renowned for its wine, and Bordeaux is the country’s biggest wine region, but the story of wine begins more than 4,700km from Bordeaux, in the Caucasus. How did grapes make their way across the Mediterranean and Europe? How is wine grown (and consumed) around the world, from Cape Town to California? What should you serve with your Bordeaux wine of choice? Find out the answers as you work your way up to the 7th-floor Le 7 Restaurant Panoramique or the 8th floor observation deck, both with panoramic views of Bordeaux." - Sophie Friedman
