Definitely an anomaly to get Dom on the ground at outstations (whereas it remains the norm in DXB). I'd guess it might have happened to me on 5 sectors out of - say - 100. In those rare instances I never quite figured out if it was different policy for a particular outstation or a genuine mistake by the crew. Such policy doesn't seem to have changed; at LHR I consistently got J-class champagne on the ground over the last 3 flights since March.
I'd recommend skipping the Veuve and waiting an extra 30 minutes for the good stuff
