"I thought the CX flight was just ok. Nothing special. I didn’t want to be rude when the polite staffer offered me a bottle of Krug although I did object a little bit when they served the champagne at the same temperature as the surface of the sun."
YES - even though I repeatedly ask for the champagne to be made colder I am amazed that they don't understand the importance of serving it COLD (although they are marginally better than american airlines that seem to think warm and flat is the best way to serve....but I digress)
So even after I ask for GASP ice to be put in the champagne they still don't make it colder for my subsequent glasses over the next while (really they have ice, a bucket, and water - sort of the basics for cooling the bottle)
Add my thanks for so much fun reading
