Past 2-3 months, or maybe longer, CGK routes have had Bolly on board. Been getting extra time to down Bolly as it seems every week for the past few weeks everytime I am inbound CGK, consistently, we've had to hold in a racetrack pattern, sponsored by lots of Bollinger haaa.

Not only Bollinger
I had Bollinger 2 weeks ago to and from NRT. No doubt it's in a different league from Heidsieck. BTW in France, B retails for double the price of the Heidsieck.
More interesting is this Sauternes which showed up recently on the drink list, very nice sweet wine
Sadly it's only temporary

I was given one of those inflight feedback forms earlier in the year, and I wrote several lines about how even second-tier airlines like Austrian and Air New Zealand do sweet wine in J (...obviously the lovely crew read my form and got me a glass of something sweet from Suites!)
I hope the crews have been trained to "sell it" by offering it with foie gras (and dessert - not ideal, but better than port); otherwise it'll disappear because of a lack of passenger demand

Originally posted by Durian View PostNope no selling technique I'm afraid. The initial pouring is still done in the galley and the bottle cannot be seen. Only when they do a second servings they walk around with the bottle. Second is they pour the champagne the wrong way, one should hold the bottle by the bottom, not like wine. Last is SQ should invest in proper wine glasses !

Hmm I hope the Sauternes will lasst till mid-Oct when I fly to KIX. Bolli or the Taittinger - either one will do. Now I only have to ready myself on a 01:25am departure to not fall sleep right away, but have a few drinks first and pass out later.
