If it's good enough for Riedel it's good enough for me! Having knocked over several glasses of wine in Club I think it's a great idea plus you get more in them. Win win! I think until they have more spacious seats with room to put things as you get out of the seat it's probably a good idea.

Credit where credit is due, the photos in this thread show that this is a definite improvement presentation. I particularly like the glassware.
It certainly looks nicer to see everything on display, but my only concern is that in the winter you might get someone coughing and spluttering all over the food!

I have another serious concern - are there still chocolates???

Works better for red imho. But I don't have a big problem with it and slightly warm white is far far less annoying than a pinot grigio scented carpet so on balance it's cool.
And yes, Riedel do make these, although courtesy of Mrs P, looking my kitchen cabinet I am reminded that they also make really nice ones with stems on

While there have apparently been logistical issues with the colour of the new CW blankets, I do hope the roll-out of the new bedding and amenity kits will not be as drawn out - surely that should be significantly less complicated.
Separately, WTP first meal service includes a "Club World Main." On JFK flights, does anyone know if WTP passengers are receiving these new Do+Co CW mains, or the old CW mains?

Very true, but whilst this was not what the OP referred to, it now looks like the densification of the long haul LGW fleet will also be completed very quickly with many long haul routes already showing the new denser cabin configuration for the summer schedule. That, at any rate, would be a fairly heavy job.

I had the lunch service yesterday MrD had the soup and the fish, I had the smoked salmon and the beef.
The fish came out browned and was overcooked which was a shame, the beef was more of a success with the Short rib being very tasty and the tiny fillet was pink and not done until it surrendered. I am not so sure about the gnocchi with the 'cafe de Paris sauce' which did not sit well with the sauce on the short rib - YMMV
The starters were a success with the soup being very good and the salmon being good and the serving was generous.
I will post some photos at a later date as they are on my UK phone .
I did love the Arthur Daly style cut glass tumblers. ^
