Same goes for all 3 Spanish airlines too.

The last time I flew ANA in 2004, alcoholic beverages were free.

I believe that NW has free alcohol on trans-Atlantic flights, due to some agreement with KLM. However, in recent years I've flown only with UA, which doesn't, although it offers them on trans-Pac flights to compete with the Asian airlines.

That would mainly be some US-based airlines & LCCs.
I'd second this approach. Also add Air Canada for domestic flights.

You do mean the northwestern U.S.? The alcoholic drinks are limited to wines and beers from the pacific north west (namely Washington and Oregon). Wines can be iffy sometimes but the beers are usually excellent.

SwissAir last time I flew with them which was quite a while ago. So I'm not certain about right now.

Edit: lol, after some poking around I just found out that SwissAir actually tanked and is no more! Welp, scratch that one off the list. lol

The smoking rubble of SwissAir is now Swiss, which is part of Lufthansa. And yes, they offer free drinks still.

Same as Lufthansa and Austrian on all flights

Alitalia trans-Atlantic flights.... but only a meager selection (it was a ticket paid for by the EU, otherwise I would have been flying UA!)

In early 2007 when I flew Korean, they only offered beer in coach. No alcoholic drinks (not even when I wanted to pay $$ and buy them).

Thankfully, the hostess very discreetly smuggled some rum from business class to put me out of my misery. (apparently, she had discovered I was a NW Plat)
