A FIRST STEP
The NEW HORIZON documentary is a first step in understanding the impact on wine and our body sensors in deep sea. This first experiment in a submersible will open new ideas for the future of luxury tourism underwater, as dining and wine will undoubtedly be a large part of the customer experience, just like it was for the airlines at the beginning of air travel.
