This is the other benefit to always flying in the upper classes, you think what it used to be like in coach is still true today but it doesn't matter if you're wrong ;-)
Delta is one airline that I know of, and I very much doubt it's the only one, that now charges it's trans-Atlantic coach passengers for an alcoholic drink. I'm not a big drinker but do quite like a glass of wine to numb the taste of the airline food, but not at US$4 a glass.
