Like many on this site, I often ask for two glasses of wine with my meal in Y on TATL flights--and have always received this, on dozens of flights in the last few years since I started asking. (The reason is that it takes a good 45 minutes for the FA to come back for refills, at which point my meal is cold.)

A few weeks ago, JFK-TXL, the FA refused. I asked if this was a new policy, and she replied that it is "how she likes to do it" AND "how DL wants her to do it." I responded that those are two very different things, but let the matter go.

I assume that this was the FA's own personal policy, not a new DL policy. But does anyone know for sure? If it's a new DL policy--or an old one that is now being enforced--that will make a difference in whether I ask for it in the future.

FWIW, there was no drink/snack service before dinner (in my experience DL has abolished this on all JFK-EU flights in Y for several years now), so it's not as if the FA had already served me a drink. Nor, in fact, had I had one anywhere else that day. Also, ironically, when I went back to the galley about three hours later to get a Woodford's to help me sleep a different FA handed me four of them....
