I just returned from Osaka and after a few recent trips in C, I thought that need to share my frustration.
I am a wine lover and I understand that others would not share my displeasure.
Wines served in C have gone down (as in F) but to an unacceptable level.
Champagne is Deutz Brut Classic. I would not rank it high among the NV, but decent. White wines are two low-level French wines (a Viré-Classé and a Sancerre). The red wines are a RockBare Shiraz 2008 and a Fronton 2007 from low-quality southwest French region. The Shiraz can be obtained retail for around HKD110 and the Fronton for HKD70. Fronton is truly bad and I would never serve it for dinner with my wife. The shiraz is slightly less bad but sitll a low quality Shiraz whose only quality is to be very alcoholic.
I understand cost cutting but I cannot think of another airline that serves such cheap wines in C. I recently had a BKK flight on TG and was served Chablis 1er cru and decent red wines. SQ, OZ and NH (my last recent experiences) also serve much better wines than CX (both in C and in F).
