A few airlines occasionally servce Roederer which I personally like a little bit less but is also very good.
Hi Orbitmic, if you praise KE you will double praise Asiana. They only serve Charles Heidsick in Biz, but their food/wine/service offering is admirable. And in F it is magnificent. I have taken them several times at meal time between HKG, ICN and PEK and their "shorthaul" offering in F or C is spectacular with Grand Cru burgundies and bordeaux.
I am not such a fan of Champagne, and hence not a great expert. But I hate low-quality champagne. Sad that AF, the French flag carrier, does not make a point of serving better quality wines.
