  J seats now replaced Burgundy Chardonnay and Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc with basement bargain white.

  Next is the Taittinger Brut for Adelaide Sparkling?

      Not 2 months back. Was a Tiraki Sauvignon Blanc. Gone are the days of a Lynch Bages.

      But then they are down to a $10 bottle. Probably water only in a few years time. Why bother when they will serve subpar stuff.

        Interesting. That list was from a photo a customer sent to me on 11/3. They do rotate.
        It is interesting to see the pricing that various carriers offer up in tenders. Found a slightly oxidised 3/4 bottle of Pichon-Longueville in a lounge in Dubai a few years back - despite being 0645am, still enjoyed it - but you are right the days of first growth Bordeuax's are going/gone unles you're in F. :-)

  Purchased, thanks Richard! Is it difficult to do a deal with an airline?

    Hi @StevePER We work with an agency overseas whose sole business is supplying airlines and cruise ship companies. It is globally competitive, so statistically, in any airline tender situation, you have a 2% chance of success.
    We've had a good run of late with Cathay Pacific, Qantas and Singapore Airlines all pouring wines from each of the core ranges. Richard
