I suppose to be fair it's entirely possible that they have enough data points on how many drinks are consumed and that this is a statistically exceptional case.
it seems a priori unlikely to me at least that the 95th percentile is a 1/3 consumption of 1 bottle (ie large glass) of champagne each.
shefgab is absolutely right I suspect, that the same number of bottles are loaded regardless of how many people are seated in CE. I disagree with him/her that this is acceptable or that BA is incapable of doing better if it cared about its premium service.
