When somebody asked, they poured a mini bottle from economy class.

Since UA is now round-trip catering alcohol from the US, they should lock down half of the inventory to be reserved for the return flight. Or better still, go back to the original method of fully restocking in the outport city. This cost saving is sabotage to the Polaris product.
This has been a problem for years, which obviously UA has no interest in addressing. So on this 14 1/2 hour return flight, for which UA charges over $7K for (lowest business return), there were 2 bottles of champagne for 48 Polaris pax! It's not as if they are offering Krug or Dom Perignon!
