Definitely agree though, this is not an error fare, there have been heaps of $1000-1500 business class fares this year, this fits right in that category.
Depends how long the flight is, really.
Sectors like SINKUL/YVRYYJ/YYZYOW/LONBRU I could care less about the onboard offerings, as I could eat reasonably well in the lounge (and drink there.)
Longhaul, I do want to have a drink, though.
