Wine is not just a fad but a deep-rooted pastime for the residents in Manila, Angeles City Pampanga and Cebu. More and more tables in Philippines’ upscale restaurants are graced with bottles of wine as customers forgo the traditional iced tea and cold beers for a more sophisticated dinner beverage – wine.

As the Philippines’ wine-drinking population grows at impressive speed some top restaurants in Manila and Pampanga respond by offering set dinners and prix fixe menus that include wine or at least offer suggestions for wine and food pairings. One restaurant in Clark Pampanga which is already well regarded by Philippines wine lovers to be more advanced than all other restaurants in the area of food and wine pairing has unveiled a series of wine-paired dinners for this year. Dubbed “wine appreciation diners”, this restaurant in Clark Pampanga offers 4 or 5 course dinners paired with 4 kinds of wine. The price of php1,500 per person surprised many wine lovers, in a most pleasant way, causing even Manila wine drinkers to drive up to Clark Freeport to enjoy a nice dinner with friends and family.

Yats Restaurant and Wine Lounge is already recognized internationally for its award-winning wine list which boasts no fewer than 2500 items. Blessed with such a vast selection of wine and an incredible depth of vintages for many wines, this restaurant has the ability to select precisely not only the wine to pair up with a certain food recipe but also the perfect age of that wine also. This is something that no other restaurants in Manila or anywhere in Philippines can match.

Menus for wine appreciation dinners are posted on the web site of this restaurant in Clark Pampanga. Wine lovers who are interested to find out more may click on this link:

Restaurants in Clark Pampanga as well as neighboring cities like Subic, Angeles City and San Fernando appear to react in different ways to the trend of increasing focus paid to wine list by regular customers. Although most Pampanga restaurants appear to take this seriously some owners are complacent and adopt a wait-and-see attitude. The more successful restaurants in Pampanga have reacted quickly to face this challenge head on, although each restaurant seems to have its own way to deal with it. The common denominator in their approaches seems to be allotting some of their profits to projects aimed at improving their products, services and facilities.
