Usually the reds and whites appear months before the flight so this is a departure from the norm. Like you, I like to study the selection prior to the flight. I flew F a few weeks ago from IAD to MLE and from MLE to JFK and found the wines to unremarkable with the exception of the Beringer 2014 Private Reserve Cab. Better wines were found in the "F" section of the DXB lounge. I am not complaining as I got to fly the new 777 from DXB to JFK and it was a wonderful experience!
