Wine

Seven of the kitchens we read put wine on the menu, on eight plates. Three of them turn up under appetizer, and it comes as a steamer-pot more often than anything else, on two.

The journey of wine

The same 8 plates read outward from the middle: how the kitchens cook it, how it then arrives, and which part of the menu it arrives in. A wedge too narrow for its word carries it in the table underneath.

The journey of wine: 8 plates, 4 ways of cooking them, drawn as three rings — how it is cooked, how it arrives, and which part of the menu it arrives in.
