Hardly premium.
...and the champagne is dependent on the flight having been catered correctly as well as the FAs not trying to serve the crappy Mionetto frizzante that they still have open from PDBs. I have run across both problems on D1 flights, though catering has generally been an issue with shorter ones where there seems to be a mismatch between Delta's actual service plan and the automated IT outputs for D1 international.
