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).
Thanks for this! It's a shame I'm not originating in DXB. That's good to know, I enjoy Ca Del Bosco so would be pleased to have that at the lounge.
Also, do you know if EK serves Dom on the ground at MXP? Apparently they do out of ATH (based on One Mile At a Time's recent trip report), but my understanding is that's an anomaly and it's usually Veuve on the ground for pre-departure drinks on board, and then Dom in the air?
