I was referring to the non-sparkling wines. Even Iron Horse (which is what was often whined about by faux-elitists on FT for not being "champagne") goes for $35-40. My point was that instead of complaining about the "champagne" label they should be complaining about the awful quality of non-sparkling wines. The non-sparkling offerings on my int'l F and C flights are certainly in the range I mentioned, with maybe one getting around $15ish tops. I've also often found that the listed wines on the menu are not available even on int'l F flights. And again, my real problem is that these aren't even good $8 or $12 or $15 bottles. In any case, sorry for any lack of clarity.
