“But put a water menu in front of me, and now you've opened up a whole new revenue stream. It's appealing to restaurants and it's appealing to more and more health-conscious people, and really it's all about the epicurean experience.”

“There are more and more people who don't drink alcohol, like me. I'm a massive foodie, and when I go to a restaurant, they can't wait to throw a wine menu in front of my nose, which will never be of interest to me.”
