I was a little confused about the post about no white wine or Champagne on CA. Maybe it was just from LHR or this was a long time ago. I flew CA from SFO to PEK roundtrip February in biz and just found my menus. I thought it would be helpful to post them but unfortunately I don't have access to a scanner and the photos came out bad so typing here we go.
