The good old days

"The finest airline wines were in the BA Concorde cellar (about 100 different wines, rotated 4 at a time onto Concorde flights by BA), including wines now costing $1000 per bottle (at the time they were about $300/bottle but average was maybe $100 per). 2nd best were AF Concorde. And the 3rd best was quite surprisingly the DL F wines served in the 80s (when DL had an international F and tried to make it special). Some superb Barolos were served on DL (how strange for an ATL based airline, the home of Coca Cola)."

Ah yes, I remember it well. DL had a charmes-chambertin, and not from a negociant.
