From Dom Pérignon on Singapore to a $19 Chardonnay on United, WSJ’s Lettie Teague takes a tasting tour of five airlines’ high-end offerings:
By the end of my tastings, I’d acquired valuable insight into the selection (and storage) of airline wines—to say nothing of all their rules and regulations. I’d also reached a few class-specific conclusions: I’d fly Singapore for first class, United for business and I’d be happy on Air New Zealand drinking in coach. What of those coach wines anyway? As Doug Frost had said, “Coach is the big question for every airline.” Perhaps it’s a question I’ll pose soon. I can even conduct some in-flight research. – from WSJ
