Here's the technical definition of prix fixe:
A complete meal offered at a fixed price.
Here's the more thorough definition of prix fixe:
The set-menu, no-substitutions policy means the restaurant kitchen stays under control, particularly during very busy shifts like Mother's Day or Valentine's Day. Prix fixe also appeals to people who want to know ahead of time exactly what they're getting for exactly how much money.
And here's Regatta of Cotuit's version of prix fixe:
Four imaginative courses -- with choices -- including an amuse bouche.
Plus three wine pairings.
Every single Wednesday, year-round.
At what some people think is the best restaurant on the Cape.
For $45.
That's what we call prix fixe deluxe.

The next time you want to describe the texture of a wine, remember that historically the same language used to describe textiles was also used to describe wine. Think silk, velvet, cashmere, wool, even burlap!
