I assume the answer is no, but does EK have any special wines for F passengers at the MXP lounge? I'll be flying MXP-JFK.
The 2001 Mouton Rothschild was on the wine list back in mid 2018, as part of the “vintage collection” program (same time when they were serving the Dom P2, 1998 Margaux and a phenomenal 2005 Forts De Latour). At the time it was a rather regular feature in the F lounges (mostly leftovers from onboard service). I imagine EK might have a bit of stock left.
No “special” wines for F in MXP (there is no separate lounge area for F). I haven’t travelled from there in a couple of years, but I recall the wine selection to be perfectly decent. Mostly Italian except the French bubbles (although they also always had Ca Del Bosco, a very solid Franciacorta which I prefer to many champagne).
