Thankfully my return trip I was able to book a codeshare flight on BA in first class on a 777-300 with the sliding privacy doors in F after a schedule change that AA dictated. From what I read BA puts a lot more pride in their F service.
It's a solid step up from AA, but the folks on the BA board definitely complain about the wine selections. I think the bubbly is usually LPGS which is good (and which AA F also served for a number of years, and which LX F still does), but the other options aren't much to get excited about. Even Air France has been receiving complaints of late, particularly vis-a-vis someone like Emirates that I think usually has a premier grand cru red.
