I’m wondering about that blind tasting. If it were down to the tasting, how did an airline that didn’t manage to get a single wine into the top 3 of any of the business class categories (red, white, sparkling, fortified/dessert), win the best business class cellar? Seems odd that such an award could have been based on the tasting results, but maybe I just don’t understand these things.
