Isn't midflight snacks and sandwiches more of a J service? Will this really apply to PE?

I'm pretty certain you don't get more than one glass of champagne in PE (welcome drink). I didn't ask for any more bubbly after take-off, tho I am pretty sure it wasn't offered.

In PE you do get a bottle of water though (Evian ex-HKG, Mount Franklin ex-SYD)

On the 33G it's definitely shared - pretty sure of this having seen the same crew serve PE then Y. But given a 77H only has 8 more PE seats than 33G I am not convinced CX sees the need to cater for them differently.
Here's the thing:

I think Premium Economy is a very good option and wanted the OP to know that. If the seats are half an inch narrower than a 1995 United Business Class seat, so be it, but the cabin feels intimate, I like the service level, and as someone whose company won't let me fly Business Class despite my lofty title it's a godsend; if they made me fly Coach I'd have to find another job.
