I was pleasantly surprised when I saw this on a TATL a week or two ago. Not sure about the NZD price or where AC would source it, but in BC, the bottom priced sauvignon blanc from NZ is around 14.00 CAD at the liquor store.

Anyway, the Peter Yealand is tasty if you like the grassiness of real sauvignon blancs.

While the AC wine selection is usually poor, I was just on a UA flight to Central america from IAH and it was serving one red and one sad warmish white (a bad chardonnay).
