Those "tumblers" you dismiss so rudely are actually a design icon called "Ultima Thule" by Finnish designer and sculptor Tapio Wirkkala. The design dates from the late 1960's I believe. I think they are just gorgeous. The last time I flew AY, they served Joseph Perrier Champagne Cuvee Royale. As champagnes go, it's hardly set-the-world-on-fire stuff, but equally, it is far from awful. It's a bright, refreshing champagne, rather than a fuller, yeasty blanc de blanc. Really, the quality of it is about what I would expect in a J cabin.
