However, I have not been happy at all with EL AL's pretty mediocre wine selections, especially in First Class. Sorry, EL AL, but 70 sheqels does not make a First Class wine. So with BA I am left without wine, but with London Pride beer, Glenlivet 15 (or 18 in First) Cointreau and Drambuie 15 - not that bad at all.
? El Al has quite good wine choices, I'd say its one of the few highlights of their service! Sure the petit castel isn't the grand vin but its not like BA is spending $100 on a bottle of wine even in F, except for the champagne. I think LY's selections in C are at least as good as the competition (better than UA for sure). The heightswine gewurz is excellent.
I do think BA is a solid option however, and they aren't as stingy as LY on upgrade fare bases.
