We know from last year's Conviviality-linked problems that Bibendum is a supplier to BA, so that surely comes as no surprise?

If they're doing it with leftover champagne that would otherwise get poured down the sink or the loo, then why not?

Interestingly, the wine tender document doesn't include champagne, so clearly there must be a different supply chain in operation there.

It's also interesting to see this side of the business reflecting some things that we occasionally see mentioned, like the cabin crew's lists including the phonetic pronunciation guide.
