So two flights a day, for business class passengers, for those who actually drink nothing but Kosher wine?

Yeah, there is a significant portion of United's passengers. There are bigger issues out there for this joke of an airline.
Completely agree - would note though that UA has completely cut the level of decent wines in premium cabins on all routes to pretty much the cheapest bottles they can find. Just out of boredom this week on a ORD - HKG flight in GF waiting to take off, did a search for the wines on the menu and not one of them was above $20 at retail, most were in the $12 - $17 range so take at least 30% off for UA's volume discounts. Cheap wine is not the end of the world, but adding all the changes made by UA lately does begin to impact the decision to buy a biz ticket vs. other airlines.
