  • One Sommelier's Fairy-Tale Success
    THE WALL STREET JOURNAL. Friday - Sunday, February 10 - 12, 2012 | W3 WINE One Sommelier’s Fairy-Tale Success [ Wine ] BY WILL LYONS There are few who have earned the sobriquet “the world’s greatest wine taster.” The late Harry Waugh, one of England’s most gifted wine merchants, who was so popular in the U.S. that he had a dining room in a restaurant in Tampa, Fla., named after him, was one. Robert Parker, the Baltimore- based wine critic who invented the 100-point tasting scale, is probably another. Michel Bettane, the French wine critic who wrote for La Revue de vin de France for more than 20 years, could be thought of in this bracket. But when it comes to qualifica- tions, one man has sniffed and slurped his way through more wine examinations than perhaps any other. That man is Gérard Basset, 54 years old, who boasts not just a Master of Wine qualifi- cation, but also a Master Somme- lier, and a Wine M.B.A. from the Bordeaux École de Management, for which he wrote a thesis on the psychology of the wine list. If that assett B d wasn’t enough, in 2010 he was r a r named world champion by the As- Ge sociation de la Sommellerie Inter- nationale (ASI) in Santiago, Chile. who are much more qualified and in Hampshire.

  • Le Marché Hôtelier Au Royaume-Uni ……………………………………………………………
    Le marché hôtelier au Royaume-Uni Par la Mission Économique de Londres Octobre 2002 Document réalisé par Marie BANCAL Revu par Alain GAUGRIS Mission Economique1 de Londres 21 Grosvenor Place - Londres SW1X 7HU Tél. : 00 44 207 235 7080 - Fax : 00 44 207 235 8598 - http://www.dree.org/gb Résumé Le Royaume-Uni est le pays d’Europe où il y a le plus d’hôtels (50 549 en 2000). Grandes chaînes internationales et petits établissements indépendants se côtoient sur un marché atomistique, théâtre de nombreuse fusions et acquisitions ces dernières années. Des chaînes telles que Heritage, Posthouse, Principle ou encore Swallow, sont ainsi passées d’un groupe à un autre, au gré des recompositions de portefeuille. Parallèlement à cette concentration, deux tendances se confirment : la multiplication des franchises et la présence accrue des investisseurs institutionnels. Au niveau de l’offre, après avoir connu une croissance exceptionnelle, le marché des hôtels économiques semble aujourd’hui arriver à maturité. Le rythme des ouvertures se ralentit, les sites intéressants se faisant plus rares, et les concurrents plus nombreux. Les boutiques hôtels sont, au contraire, en pleine expansion. Ce nouveau concept d’hôtels design à taille humaine séduit de plus en plus de clients, à la recherche d’une alternative à la standardisation. Les appart’hôtels rencontrent également un succès croissant. Très répandue sur le continent américain, la formule séduit de plus en plus au Royaume-Uni. La clientèle des hôtels britanniques est essentiellement nationale et d’affaire : les deux tiers des clients sont en déplacement d’affaire et près des trois quarts sont britanniques.
