Agree and since when do most products that any FF buys today have the name of the country on it - but of course I'm a Philistine when it comes to airlines routinely buying tickets from airlines with first names "Ryan", or entire continents "Asia"
So why would AC source locally, when it is supposed to be a global carrier with increasing global customer base?
While I drink very little alcohol any more, and NONE before or during flight instead prefer only sparkling water, seriously, folks really believe whatever wine is served is that good at 6,000-8,000 ft in a pressurized cabin.
ps...my favourite restaurant in Rome, the Cavalieri in the HIlton has a menu just for sparkling water - 15 at last count - and most cost more than the $15 Cdn wine referred to above
