Not true, it does happen, but I think they'd be reluctant to do it to accommodate a Y pax in J, however if J were oversold they would, in fact I had a J-F op-up earlier this year.

The white wine was in a glass bottle, which seemed odd in an age of cost cutting and weight reduction.
The food trolley generally doesn't contain drinks IIRC, and what would the wine be served in if not a glass bottle? A box?
Glad you made it, and got an aisle, too which is nice! Bad luck with the bus gate, these days they're not as common as they were a few years ago still. As for the crew, that seems to be more and more the case (not very friendly/welcoming) based on recent reports.
