Sitting in the QF lounge in Sydney for 2 hours waiting for a domestic connection and feeling bored I decided to try and work out the average price of the wine in the EK F list for their Australian flights. It works out at US$110 per bottle - $180 if those wines also on the J list are excluded. It is not possible to be completely accurate as two of the wines are not commercially available but estimates were made from closest equivalent or vintage.
The figure is skewed by the Penfolds Grange at present (retails at around $500 per bottle) but even so half the wines are priced at $100 or more.
The purser on my flight today took my suggestion that some of the reds should be decanted seriously and is apparently going to suggest it as a unique EK enhancement.....
