This is funny - I took four flights this week and every single flight I was served wine with the bottle right side up, in a cup, but the bottle was surrounded by a napkin so that it never touched the cup itself -- while I know the risk in infinitesimally low I still appreciated the effort -- now having a tapas box as the only food on a 5+ hour flight in F -- I miss the old days - but I did suck down those nuts fast....
