Indeed.

I was certainly well fuelled by Pol Roger Winston Churchill champagne when I arrived in JFK after my morning Concorde flight on 17 September 2002 having booked using a 2-4-1. Will look for the receipt but the Avios and cash cost was excellent value IMO!

I still buy this excellent champagne.
