this is something that no other airline will ever do. and i wonder where they got the wine from.
Looks like they are sourcing directly from the wineries in similar vein to Cathay Pacific and Chateau Lynch Bages. CX snaps up all of Lynch Bages off-vintage, probably at a really great price, then trots out the same off-vintage Lynch Bages year after year. You never see a good Lynch Bages vintage on CX.

It is really more about appearance rather than wine. A regular Caymus probably will be just as good for a 1/5 of the price, but without the first growth label.
