This means that your choice of drink with your meal will be served after they served the meal itself. This can take annoyingly long.

As said before, they can only be ordered for ex CDG legs.



I have never heard of that, but it is an interesting idea which could also solve the problem of having your wine later than the a la carte meal itself. I would certainly pay for that. (But they must not degrade the standard choice!)
