This is an odd article. Only once does it mention the (to me) key issue of the effect of altitude and cabin air on the wine.

And since residual sweetness and alcohol are reduced at altitude,” Riecken added, “wines with a little more sweetness or higher alcohol can be offered.”
Really? I thought alcohol had more of an effect in such an environment.
