Rome FCO - disappointing wine
Used the BA Lounge at FCO at weekend- very impressed. Lots of space, masses of charging points, comfortable chairs and seating and plenty of space for food.
Food was OK- lots of sandwiches including a rather odd mashed potato one, a surprisingly tasty lasagne and the usual crisps etc. Rather disappointed with the range of drinks though, especially the wine. Given that Italy has over 350 grape varieties and thousands of wines, to just have one generic whites, 2 reds (Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon) and a Prosecco was not what I was expecting. Surely Italian wines could be showcased?
Only other disappointment was trying to find the lavatories, but that’s probably because I didn’t see the signs!
Finally, whoever thinks it’s only 4 mins walk from. lounge to gate 20 - I’m a fast walker and it took more like 8 so I’d advise leaving more time than signage implies.
