A conversation ensued, where I learned that they're being told to reseal the bottles and keep them for the next flight, to save money.

He also mentioned one $45 wine they used to have. I told him the best wine I've ever had can be purchased for $15/bottle at Safeway. He was very surprised.
When the conversation ended, he said he liked "no BS" (full word, not "Ben Smith") customers like myself.
I liked this SD.
FYI, you could have suggested to that SD - Air Canada could serve the following drink instead:
Just make sure he doesn't ask you what's the price tag.
Or if he did, make sure you hear a "
yes, we will definitely have it on your next flight with us" before you tell him: "
Don't worry, it's only a little more than $500 / bottle..." Then enjoy watching how the SD
dies in front of you, slowly.

I know it's been a while since I last paid attention to anything AC does but does AC currently advertise itself as a 5* airline?
