Yes much like UA RCC policy. I don't know the brands as I rarely fly AY these days but basically your gin&tonic is free but if you specifically want Tanqueray it costs you.
Although this only applies to status holders I think, plain J pax pay for anything but wine on tap/beer. THAT is unacceptable.
